Packers get down to 80, place S Will Redmond on IR, release DL Josh Avery

Following the release of linebacker Kamal Martin and tight end/fullback Daniel Crawford and a trade that sent cornerback Ka’dar Hollman to the Houston Texans for a seventh-round pick, the Green Bay Packers still needed to make two moves to get their roster down to 80 players for Tuesday’s roster cut deadline. The two moves that the team made to comply with the cutdown were placing safety Will Redmond on injured reserve and releasing defensive lineman Josh Avery.

Due to the timing of Redmond being placed on injured reserve, he is not eligible to return this season, ending his 2021 campaign.
