GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ricky Jean Francois' tenure with the Green Bay Packers lasted all of six snaps.
The veteran defensive tackle, who signed a one-year, $2 million contract in free agency this offseason, was released on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
Jean Francois, a ninth-year veteran, was not a major part of the Packers' defensive plan in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks. He played only six snaps from scrimmage.
The Packers must feel good about third-round pick Montravius Adams and Quinton Dial, the former San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle who signed last week. Both were inactive against the Seahawks.
