Packers keep 11 of 13 draft picks and 3 UDFAs on initial 53-man roster of 2023

The Green Bay Packers kept 11 of their 13 draft picks and three undrafted free agents on the initial 53-man roster of 2023.

The two draft picks released: running back Lew Nichols (who was waived/injured due to a shoulder injury) and receiver Grant DuBose, who missed all of the offseason workout program and part of training camp because of a back injury. Both Nichols (No. 235) and DuBose (No. 256) were seventh-round picks.

Both were squeezed off the roster by undrafted free agents signed this year.
