Former Packers draft pick gets sent packing by 49ers despite injury crisis

The Green Bay Packers are in a rare position of having too many talented wide receivers, to the point that they may need to make a trade.

That's not true of the San Francisco 49ers, who face an injury crisis at the position. Surprisingly, though, it hasn't stopped them from releasing former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.

A former sixth-round pick by the Packers, St. Brown has recently spent time with the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints but has been unable to keep hold of a spot on the 49ers' roster this summer.
