Two unexpected standouts of the Green Bay Packers preseason will be released during final roster cuts on Tuesday.
According to Ryan Wood of PackersNews.com, the Packers are releasing defensive lineman Chris Slayton. And according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, the Packers are also releasing cornerback Kiondre Thomas.
Both players are considered to be strong practice squad candidates in Green Bay.
Slayton, previously a seventh-round pick of the Giants in 2019, produced 12 tackles, five total pressures and a team-high six stops, or tackles constituting a failure for the offense, per Pro Football Focus.
