Overview
- Lachey failed his team physical on Thursday, triggering a failed‑physical waiver that sends the tight end back to the wire two days after Green Bay claimed him.
- Green Bay had picked up Lachey from the Texans earlier in the week, and his Iowa history that included a 2023 broken ankle provided key medical context.
- Wide receiver Brennen Rice, claimed from the Raiders on Wednesday, was officially added to the roster after passing his physical.
- Defensive lineman James Ester, released by the Packers, was claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins.
- The Packers signed second‑round pick Brandon Cisse to complete their draft class signings, and they carry at least one open roster spot as OTAs near later this month.
