The Green Bay Packers set their initial 53-man roster in advance of Tuesday’s 3 p.m. deadline.
Among the key moves included releasing two quarterbacks — Taylor Elgersma and Sean Clifford — along with a pair of veteran free agents in wide receiver Mecole Hardman and linebacker Isaiah Simmons.
For a 21st straight year the Packers will have at least one undrafted free agent on their initial roster as defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse earned a spot.
The team will now fill out its 16-man practice squad that will include many of the players released Tuesday.
