Packers Release WR Darrius Shepherd and TE Evan Baylis – CB Tremon Smith Moves to Primary Roster

While some were expecting the Packers to take advantage of a trade prior to the deadline today, this was not the case as the deadline has now come and gone.

On the other hand, WR Darrius Shepherd, who has greatly disappointed as a kick returner so far this season, has been released to make room for CB Tremon Smith who is to be moved from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. TE Evan Baylis was also released, but he has been a non-factor so far this season anyway so that should not come as a surprise. It is possible that this was to make room for TE Jace Sternberger from IR, but that move has not been confirmed.
