The Green Bay Packers have released a pair of 2022 draft picks, the first draft choices from that class to be taken off the team’s active roster at any point since they were drafted. On Wednesday, the Packers announced that they will waive inside linebacker Tariq Carpenter and defensive lineman Jonathan Ford, corresponding roster moves for picking up safety Zayne Anderson and tight end Ben Sims off of waivers earlier in the day.
Carpenter, drafted as a safety, transitioned to the inside linebacker position this season. He played in 14 games last year, seeing the field for 122 snaps of special teams and 16 snaps of defense.
