One of the two roster moves required to fit the waiver claims of tight end Ben Sims and safety Zayne Anderson by the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday will be releasing linebacker Tariq Carpenter, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
Carpenter was a seventh-round pick of the Packers in 2022. He played in 14 games as a rookie and was on the field for 122 snaps on special teams and 16 on defense. A key member of the special teams down the stretch, Carpenter produced eight total tackles.
The Packers transitioned Carpenter to full-time inside linebacker this offseason.
