Ego Ferguson's stay with Packers short-lived after failed physical

GREEN BAY, Wis. – So much for the Green Bay Packers and Ego Ferguson.

Two days after they claimed the defensive tackle off waivers, the Packers released him after he failed his physical.

Ferguson spent all of last season on injured reserve because of a shoulder he hurt in training camp last summer. The Chicago Bears then released him last Friday, and the Packers claimed him on Monday.

Ferguson will again be subject to the waiver wire but considering the Packers were 29th out the 32 teams on the priority list, it’s unlikely another team would claim him.
