A speedy veteran with experience in a gadget-type role on offense and as a punt and kickoff returner will get a chance to prove he’s worth a roster spot with the Green Bay Packers.
According to the league’s transaction wire, the Packers will workout receiver Tavon Austin, a first-round pick in 2013 who has 411 career touches on offense and over 200 combined punt and kick returns.
Austin is set to have the workout at some point this week, according to Tom Silverstein of PackersNews.com.
Austin, now 29, most recently spent time with the San Francisco 49ers in 2020.
