GREEN BAY - In a preseason unlike any other, the Green Bay Packers finally arrived Saturday at something familiar. Cutdown day.
A big surprise came early with word that the Packers are releasing wide receiver Jake Kumerow, according to a source. Kumerow has been a favorite of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers have told wide receiver Reggie Begelton he will be released, according to a source. But he should be brought back on the practice squad if he clears waivers. Begelton starred last season in the Canadian Football League.
In another move to reduce the wide receiver position, the Packers are cutting Darrius Shepherd, who made the 53-man roster last season.
