That sucks. I can't believe he would fetch something on his trade value. He will absolutely get picked up.

Unfortunate. He had a good camp and preseason. I thought he had played his way into a spot.
Player status so far:
- Waived/Released: Butler (CIN), Harvey (DAL), Pettway (NE), Jacobson (NO), Nikkel (WAS), Rose (NO), Stanley (GB)
- Bubble: Good-Jones (WSH), Uwazurike (DEN)
- Trade candidate: Lazard (NYJ), Nwangwu (MIN)
- Likely Safe: Hummel (LAR), Hutchinson (HOU), Johnson (GB)
- Safe: Hall (NYJ), Kolar (BAL), McDonald (NYJ), Montgomery (DET), Purdy (SF), Tampa (BAL)
Rams trade LB Ernest Jones to Titans. This gives Jake Hummel a solid chance of starting this year.
Kene being a veteran who played pretty well in the preseason yet didn't get any play in the final game. Usually that indicates a player isn't going to get cut, but clearly not. Very strange way to handle an out-going player in the preseason.
There are some organizations that never seem to figure it out and he was in one of them.
OFFICIAL: Rose and Jacobson waived by New Orleans
OFFICIAL: Johnson and Stanley waived by Green Bay
OFFICIAL: Nwangwu waived by Minnesota

The 4PM ET deadline has passed. These are the results as best I can find:
- Made 53-Man Roster: Hall (NYJ), Hummel (LAR), Hutchinson (HOU), Kolar (BAL), Lazard (NYJ), McDonald (NYJ), Montgomery (DET), Purdy (SF), Tampa (BAL), Uwazurike (DEN)
- Waived/Released: Butler (CIN), Good-Jones (WSH), Harvey (DAL), Johnson (GB), Pettway (NE), Jacobson (NO), Nikkel (WAS), Nwangwu (MIN), Rose (NO), Stanley (GB)
Johnson is a big suprise to me, I could have seen Some of the other happening.
I would of thought Harvey would have made the roster with Dallas and that Uwazurike would have been waived.

I think they were trying to showcase him to try to get a trade. Who knows if that will work, but that's likely why he played as much as he did. He's a bit redundant on Minnesota's roster, unfortunately. They have another speed guy in Ty Chandler in the backfield. He'd be 3rd string at most. Kene isn't their punt return guy. So his value is at KR. And who knows how much of an impact that position will have with the new rules.
Minnesota is low on draft picks for 2025, so if they can get even a late pick for a guy who probably won't play much, I understand their thinking even if I don't necessarily agree.
They could be doing some IR/roster shuffle thing and he is back on the 53-man roster by Thursday.
As a packers fan I was really surprised by it. Played starter reps all camp and pre season. Didn’t think he would start but it’s likely they liked someone better on special teams
