Source: Green Bay Packers cut Jaylon Smith weeks after signing LB

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jaylon Smith's run with the Green Bay Packers was a short one. He played in only two games and was released on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, less than a month after he was signed.

The former Dallas Cowboys second-round pick was a healthy scratch for last Thursday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, an indication that his time with the team might be short-lived.

The inside linebacker played a total of 27 snaps for the Packers -- 17 against the Chicago Bears in Week 6 and 10 against the Washington Football Team in Week 7 -- and was credited with one tackle in those two games.
