-- The Green Bay Packers will have one less wide receiver fighting for a roster spot this summer.
On Wednesday, the team announced they had released Colby Pearson, an undrafted receiver out of BYU whose absence in OTAs this past month may have been the primary motivator behind his release.

A hamstring injury is reportedly what limited Pearson in the Packers' last two public OTA practices. His injury along with the fact that three other receivers were added via the draft back in April and Pearson had a pretty steep hill to climb in making the roster.
