Packers release veteran lineman Don Barclay

October 25, 2017 By Bill Scott

Don Barclay

The Green Bay Packers are parting ways with veteran offensive lineman Don Barclay on Tuesday.  They released him off of injured reserve, just one week before he would have been eligible to come off of the list.

Without Barclay, the Packers have gone to backups Justin McCray and Lucas Patrick and appear to be satisfied with their play, making Barclay expendable.

Barclay came into the league as a tackle and struggled at times when he was asked to play.  He eventually spent more time at guard and center.  He suffered an ankle injury in the first exhibition game in August and was put on injured reserve when the team made their final roster cut to 53 players.

Barclay played in a total of 62 regular-season games with 24 starts.

McCaffrey signed to practice squad

The Packers signed wide receiver Max McCaffrey to their practice squad after he was released Monday by Jacksonville.

McCaffrey originally joined the Packers as a member of their practice squad Dec. 20, 2016, and was added to their active roster for the NFC Championship game.

McCaffrey also spent a week on the Saints practice squad after the Packers released him on the cut to 53.

Young receivers making their case in Packers training camp (AUDIO)

Max McCaffrey works on ball drills in training camp

Every single day in Green Bay Packers training camp, a young receiver stands out, trying to make the regular season 53-man roster, or at the very least, the team’s practice squad.

Last year, undrafted rookie Geronimo Allison out of Illinois, was that player.  Allison made the teams practice squad and eventually signed to the 53-man roster in week eight.

In this training camp, the list of young and promising receivers is long.  DeAngelo Yancey, Michael Clark, Malachi DuPre, Montay Crockett and Max McCaffrey are all looking to win spots somewhere along the line, battling incumbents like Trevor Davis and Jeff Janis.

McCaffrey spent time on the Packers practice squad last season and was actually signed to the active roster for the playoff loss at Atlanta.  His brother Christian was a first round draft pick by Carolina and his father Ed played for 13 years with the Giants, 49ers and Denver Broncos.

McCaffrey has been steady in training camp but he knows there’s no one way to make it in the NFL. [Read more…]
