The Green Bay Packers trimmed their roster by three players on Saturday.
The team announced the release of tight end James Looney, a draft pick in 2018 who transitioned to the offensive side of the ball, and undrafted receiver Darrell Stewart and undrafted cornerback Marc-Antoine Dequoy.
The cuts were likely an attempt to keep the roster at 80 players and avoid split-squad practices, per NFL rules. The team added receivers Malik Turner and Travis Fulgham over the last three days, activated kicker Mason Crosby from the reserve/COVID-19 list and will soon return four others from the list, including tight end Jace Sternberger and long snapper Hunter Bradley.
