Packers say goodbye to fan favorite in updated 53-man roster prediction

The Green Bay Packers' wide receiver competition never truly took off. Green Bay's top five, the roster locks, have missed most of the preseason due to injury, while nobody else has forced their way into the conversation.

That includes fan favorite Malik Heath, who backed up a disastrous preseason opener with a quiet follow-up performance. The veteran brought in one catch for nine yards, and potentially could've had another if not for a blatant pass-interference penalty the refs somehow missed.

Heath needed a special preseason effort to have a realistic shot at the 53-man roster, but it just hasn't happened.
