The Green Bay Packers released rookie wide receiver Danny Davis on Tuesday, the team announced.<\/p>\n

Davis, who caught a touchdown pass against the San Francisco 49ers in the preseason opener, had been dealing with an ankle injury over the last week.<\/p>\n

The Packers signed Davis as an undrafted rookie out of Wisconsin in May. He played 24 snaps and caught two passes for 45 yards in his one and only preseason game.<\/p>\n

Without Davis, the Packers are left with 10 wide receivers on the roster with one preseason game to go.<\/p>\n

Releasing Davis was one part of the team’s path to meeting Tuesday’s roster limit of 80 players. Safety Vernon Scott was also released, and running back Kylin Hill was placed on reserve\/PUP list, meaning he’ll miss the first four games of the regular season.<\/p>\n

Davis was always a long shot to make the roster, but he was positioning himself for a practice squad spot before the ankle injury. It’s possible he could eventually return once his injury is healed.<\/p>\n

While five receivers are likely locks for the 53-man roster (Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs), the final five (Amari Rodgers, Juwann Winfree, Samori Toure, Ishmael Hyman, Travis Fulgham) are probably competing for one or two spots on the 53-man roster. The Packers finish the preseason on Thursday night in Kansas City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
