Georgia Bulldogs had four undrafted players land on NFL practice squads: Nazir Stackhouse, Ben Yurosek, Chaz Chambliss, Xavier Truss. Mecole Hardman also resurfaced on Green Bay’s practice squad, while Kendall Milton, Zion Logue, and Lawrence Cager joined other spots in depth roles. These moves keep a Georgia-connected thread on the NFL fringe, with real-paths to active rosters developing through promotions and injuries.

Practice squads offer a doorway to Week 1 contributions, and fantasy managers should monitor how depth charts evolve, especially for pass-catching and blocking versatility. The Georgia pipeline remains a notable source for teams seeking additional talent and special-teams value on the edge of their rosters.

In short, eight Bulldogs touched NFL depth charts this cycle, underscoring Georgia’s ongoing presence in pro football beyond the college game. As promotions unfold, these names could translate into speculative, late-round fantasy value or DFS speculative plays as the season advances.

Blockbuster shakeup at Green Bay: Micah Parsons heads to the Packers for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark, with Parsons’ record-setting contract as the centerpiece. Clark’s extension and signing bonuses, plus a roster of dead-money hits, push the Packers into a crunch; OTC pegs dead money around $54.2M this year. The league cap sits at $279.2M, and the move redefines the Packers’ path to win-now while leaving a big middle-of-defense hole to fill.

Cap math dominates the conversation: Parsons gives Green Bay a premier pass rusher to anchor their defense, but the price tag creates immediate breathing-room challenges. Dead-money across several players and tight caps forecast more roster churn as the Packers navigate 2025–27 while trying to sustain elite-level pressure.

Green Bay will begin signing players to the 2025 practice squad after the waiver window closes, with the league allowing 16 spots (17 for International Pathway). After Tuesday’s 32-cut sweep, Green Bay will quickly fill the practice squad ahead of finalizing the 53-man roster, shifting to a 69-70 player mix depending on IP Pathway retention.

Notable names tied to the Packers’ practice-squad moves include Sean Clifford, Mecole Hardman, Israel Abanikanda and Cornelius Johnson. Clifford and Hardman bring NFL experience; Abanikanda and Johnson provide upside and youth, creating early-name targets for fantasy managers as rotations and elevations develop. Monitor these signings for Week 1 impact possibilities and IP-slot implications.

Green Bay trims to a newly minted 53 with Jordan Love atop a reimagined offense. The receiving core leans into Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Malik Heath, paired with Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft at tight end. Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson anchor the backfield, with MarShawn Lloyd on IR. Watson is on PUP, adding a wait for the big-play potential. Front to back, the Packers project a faster, versatile attack that could unlock surprising fantasy upside if Love hits in efficiency and volume.

Green Bay trimmed its 53-man roster by cutting Mecole Hardman and Isaiah Simmons after investing modestly in both this offseason. Hardman, a receiver/returner who scored a Super Bowl LVIII winner for Kansas City, didn’t unlock a consistent role in Green Bay and was let go alongside Simmons, a versatile former top-10 pick who never fixed a single primary position for the Packers.

Both deals were one-year, low-guarantee bets, underscoring a cost-conscious approach as teams finalize rosters. With preseason results in, Green Bay pivots to a thinner depth chart and a clearer path for others to step into receiver and linebacker/secondary roles, impacting fantasy projections for pass-catchers and defenders alike.
