Overview

• CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported Tuesday that Green Bay informed Isaiah Simmons of his release as final cuts approached.
• Simmons signed with the Packers in April after two seasons with the Giants, where he played a hybrid role with limited starts.
• He logged heavy preseason snaps and delivered a strong finale, yet evaluations centered on a special-teams role in a crowded unit.
• Quay Walker, Isaiah McDuffie, Edgerrin Cooper and 2024 third-rounder Ty'Ron Hopper strengthened their standing, with special-teams ace Kristian Welch also factoring into decisions.
• The 2020 No. 8 pick has not missed an NFL game and has 329 career tackles, a profile outlets suggest could draw waiver interest.
