Packers release wide receiver Malik Taylor amid shoulder injury

One day after reaching the NFL’s first cut-down limit to 85 players, the Green Bay Packers made another cut on Wednesday. On the way out is wide receiver Malik Taylor, who has been a stalwart member of the Packers’ special teams over the past two seasons. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Taylor is being released with an injury designation due to a shoulder injury that has had him in and out of practice for the last few weeks.

After going undrafted out of Ferris State University in 2019, Taylor signed briefly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but landed with the Packers just before training camp.
