Packers Sign WR Kisean Johnson and Waive Injured CB Marlon Jones

The move adds short-term receiver depth after in-person workouts with Green Bay's coaching staff.

Overview

  • Green Bay added wide receiver Kisean Johnson to its expanded 91-man roster and waived cornerback Marlon Jones with an injured designation to open a roster spot.
  • Johnson returns to the Packers after a prior practice-squad stint and earlier UDFA signing with the Cleveland Browns.
  • Johnson produced one strong FBS season at Western Kentucky and posted pro‑day measurables that teams use to judge special‑teams and depth prospects.
  • The team worked out multiple receivers during recent practices because short-term injuries to Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed created an immediate need on the depth chart.
  • The signing is typical preseason roster churn when teams expand to 91 players and audition low-cost veterans, but Johnson will face a steep climb to make the final 53 with several established receivers ahead of him.
