The Green Bay Packers made their roster moves, getting down to the 75 player limit by 3pm this afternoon.

The Packers released kicker Zach Ramirez after he lost his brief training camp battle with Mason Crosby.

Both kickers hit missed just once on Sunday, but Crosby bounced back with a perfect 16 for 16 effort today, while Ramirez his just 6 of 16 from a variety of distances.

The Packers also put T Bryan Bulaga, WR Kevin Dorsey, RB DuJuan Harris and LB Jarvis Reed on injured reserve.

Safety Sean Richardson, T Derek Sherrod, T JC Tretter and DE Jerel Worthy were all placed on reserve/physically unable to perform.

Packers lose more to injuries

The Green Bay Packers lost a total of five players to injury in the 17-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night. Four of the five are either

Morgan Burnett

starters or players that play a significant amount of playing time.

Two defensive starters, linebacker Brad Jones and safety Morgan Burnett suffered hamstring injuries. Defensiveback Casey Hayward left with a recurrence of the hamstring injury that kept him out of the first three weeks of training camp. Running back DuJuan Harris went down with a right knee injury early. It’s the same knee that cost him the first three weeks of camp. Outside linebacker Jarvis Reed, considered to be a longshot to win a roster spot, left with a knee injury.

Burnett’s injury could be of most concern to the Packers if it’s serious because of a lack of depth at the position.
