Friday morning, a report surfaced that the Packers elected to waive TE Martellus Bennett because of a torn rotator cuff (NFLTR).
Packers HC Mike McCarthy wouldn’t get into specifics as to why they elected to move on from Bennett, but he confirmed that they discussed him undergoing surgery earlier in the week.
“I’m not going to get into the Patriots claiming Marty, I’ll just reiterate what I said yesterday: I just know what the facts are and how the timeline came about,” McCarthy said, via ESPN.
