GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have released tight ends Alize Mack and Sal Cannella and cornerback Kabion Ento, three of 25 moves they must make to get to the 53-man roster limit by Tuesday afternoon.
Mack suffered a hamstring injury, ruining his shot at a roster bid or at least a spot on the practice squad.
Mack, who signed with the Packers in February, was a seventh-round pick by the Saints in 2019 but has not played in a game. He caught 68 passes for 716 yards and four touchdowns at Notre Dame from 2015 through 2018.
Getting a shot to rekindle his career in the USFL, Cannella ranked sixth overall and first among tight ends with 34 receptions, which he turned into 368 yards and two touchdowns. Opportunities were fleeting with the Packers, though he had a nice catch and run vs. the Chiefs on Thursday night.
After a fourth training camp with the team, the Packers have released cornerback Kabion Ento. A receiver at Colorado, he showed his athletic gifts with several highlight-reel deflections during his time in Green Bay but never was consistent enough to get on the field. He will be looking for a new opportunity.
They also have released safety De’Vante Cross. With injuries hammering the safety corps, the Packers signed Cross on Aug. 19. He was a two-year starter at Virginia. He could have an opportunity on the practice squad, according to a source.
