With the Green Bay Packers needing to trim their roster from 79 players down to the final 53 by Tuesday’s deadline, they’ve already started that process by releasing linebacker Ty Summers, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.
Summers was a seventh-round draft pick by the Packers in 2019 and has been on the roster each season since as a primary special teams player.
In each of his first three NFL seasons, Summers has finished in the top-4 in special teams snaps on the Packers and top-5 in tackles, per PFF.
While oftentimes special teams experience can carry weight in these decisions, that may have been less true this year for the Packers, considering that Green Bay has a new coordinator in Rich Bisaccia, which means everyone is learning a new system.
