Packers claim TE Ben Sims, S Zayne Anderson off waivers following final cuts

There’s a reason why the first 53-man roster is called the “initial” 53-man roster. One day after submitting an initial roster, the Green Bay Packers claimed two players off of waivers: tight end Ben Sims from the Minnesota Vikings and safety Zayne Anderson from the Buffalo Bills.

Claiming Sims and Anderson will require the Packers to make two roster moves to fit them on the 53-man roster.

The Packers must already create a roster spot for re-signing long snapper Matt Orzech. The assumed roster move is placing offensive tackle Luke Tenuta (ankle) on injured reserve.
