The Packers signed the first-year player out of Ball State in January 2021 and then again this January. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by Atlanta in 2020, and spent some time on Pittsburgh’s practice squad that season.

The Packers signed the first-year player out of Mississippi State in May. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by Atlanta in 2021.

The Packers signed him in July after he spent the spring in the USFL. The first-year player out of James Madison signed with Tampa Bay in 2019 and played in two games that season.

The 6-foot-9, 370-pound first-year player out of Indiana likely lost out on a roster spot to seventh-round draft pick Rasheed Walker. He was signed as an undrafted free agent right after the draft in May.

The Packers claimed the third-year receiver from Denver on Aug. 18. He was drafted by Detroit in 2019 and has played for the Lions, the Eagles and the Broncos, catching 38 passes for 539 yards with Philadelphia in 2020. Fulgham spent some time in training camp with the Packers in 2020.
Rico Gafford, cornerback
The speedy Gafford has split time between cornerback and wide receiver during his career. He appeared in games for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2018, 2019 and 2020. He spent 2021 on the Denver practice squad and signed with Green Bay in January.
Shawn Davis, safety
The second-year player out of Florida appeared in one game for the Packers last year. He was originally signed by Green Bay in September 2021 and was elevated from the practice squad in December. He was picked in the fifth round of the 2021 draft by Indianapolis.

Kiondre Thomas, cornerback
The Packers signed him in January after he played four games for the Los Angeles Chargers last season.
De'Vante Cross, safety
The rookie out of Virginia signed with the Packers two weeks ago.

He’s been with the team since 2019, spending two of those seasons on the practice squad. Wouldn’t expect him back on the practice squad.
