Packers release Dorleant after failed physical

April 12, 2017 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers start their offseason workout program next Tuesday and they’ll do so without cornerback Makinton Dorleant.

Dorleant spent the first 11 weeks of last season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury that he suffered in training camp, but the Packers used their one “designated-to-return” option to bring him back in early December.

Dorleant was injured again (knee), in the final game of the 2016 regular season and he was placed on season ending injured reserve.  Dorleant then failed his physical this week.

The 24-year-old Dorleant was also cited for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and interference as the result of a March 26 incident at a bar in Cedar Ralls, Iowa.

Packers Dorleant arrested on Saturday night

March 27, 2017 By Bill Scott

Chicago Bears defensive back Deiondre’ Hall and Green Bay Packers corner Makinton Dorleant were arrested on Saturday night for their alleged involvement in a disturbance outside a bar in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Hall was arrested and cited for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and interference.  Dorleant was cited for interference.

Cedar Falls police say an officer used a Taser on Hall’s legs in order to get him into the squad car.  Dorleant was detained after authorities say he approached officers in a threatening manner, following Hall’s arrest.

Both players played collegiately in Cedar Falls for Northern Iowa.

A Packers spokesman said the team is aware of the situation and is gathering more information.

Dorleant is an undrafted free agent who played in four games for the Packers last season.  He ended the year on injured reserve with a knee injury.

January 5, 2017 By Bill Scott

Micah Hyde had one interception after moving to cover corner last Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers are hoping for better luck with their secondary this week as they open the NFC’s Wildcard playoffs on Sunday afternoon (3:40 p.m.) at Lambeau Field.

Cornerback Quinten Rollins, who left the Lions game on a stretcher, was placed in the teams concussion protocol as he recovers from head and neck injuries.

Damarious Randall, who suffered a knee injury on Sunday night, practiced on Wednesday.  It would appear that Randall will play on Sunday.

The Packers were forced to move players around on Sunday night as Micah Hyde was moved to outside cover corner and Morgan Burnett played slot corner with the numbers dwindling. [Read more…]
