This is hardly a shock considering the injuries.. probably a guy that is being let go early enough to try and hook on with another team. Too bad.. I liked the kids talents. Even if he played for the B'eyes.

And along with that news, looks like Benson may be re-signing with the Packers.

The Packers have waived running back Brandon Saine, Ty Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Wednesday. The 24-year-old Saine appeared in six games for Green Bay in 2012. He suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Green Bay's Week Six win at Houston and missed the remainder of the campaign. Saine's agent,

Won't be long now.

Too bad he couldn't stay healthy, the guy had some talent, UDFA's are always a long shot to make it in the NFL, sitting on the sidelines isn't going to help.

Hope he gets a chance with another team.

I don't think this really means anything. I fully expect him to get a chance to make the team if/when he is healed and ready. This just freed up a spot to give some other kid a shot while saine mends. Its not likely that some team is going to come scoop him up while recovering from the ACL injury. Would probably be lucky to be ready for camp, which would mean he would need to be put on PUP and get paid the 555K.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

good luck to the lad. I know many had high hopes for him when he was in the G&G. I didn't see anything that would get me too excited. Perhaps that was because I got burnt when I had high hopes for Sam Gado, Vernand Morency, Noah Herron, Brandon Jackson, DeShawn Wynn, Kregg Lumpkin, (no not Lumpkin), Najeh Davenport and Tony Fisher only to be let down.

bboystyle (4h) : Robert Saleh has been added to GBs coaching staff. Now he can stick it to Rodgers when he wins an SB here!

dfosterf (6h) : Leave him alone. Stop cutting him. You have no plan.

dfosterf (6h) : Losing him could get ugly real quick. Don't need that bs right now

wpr (7h) : As bad as he can be he is better than most options and he has practiced with the kicker and holder. A street guy might get 36 hours.

wpr (7h) : You are correct Mucky. This process makes the most sense. If they mess around and PS Orzech they might lose him.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : You might have the right idea. Get Gute on the line, beast!

beast (8h) : Yeah, but we could of simply signed LS Orzech to the PS, and gotten 3 weeks of him there.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Now you can get several game day elevations and sign him back to the active roster anytime in case of an injury

Mucky Tundra (8h) : By briefly adding him to the roster and cutting him, it gets around the season ending IR and you can stash him on the PS

Mucky Tundra (8h) : I believe either Ford needed to be added to the active roster or go on season ending IR

beast (8h) : I don't understand that dance, released Orzech to keep Ford, just so you can release Ford to re-sign Orzech

Mucky Tundra (8h) : DT Jonathon Ford released to make room for Orzech. Ford is expected to be signed to the PS

Mucky Tundra (8h) : As expected the Packers re-sign LS Matt Orzech

Zero2Cool (9h) : He spent the entire open portion of practice on the offensive side of the field.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Robert Saleh in the back watching the Packers offense at practice today.

dfosterf (13h) : I'm desperate too

dfosterf (13h) : Possibly very good for my fantasy team. ff equivalent of a street free agent. Definitly worth cutting a dst I had laying around

Zero2Cool (15h) : Chiefs are so desparate

beast (16h) : Rumor: Titans will be trading WR Hopkins to Chiefs

Mucky Tundra (23-Oct) : @fordm The 49ers’ healthiest receiver right now was shot in the chest two months ago.

beast (22-Oct) : TE Robert Tonyan is a FA

beast (22-Oct) : Wonder if the Rams would get the Vikings injured 1st round rookie or not

Zero2Cool (22-Oct) : Rumors: The #Vikings and #Rams are in serious trade talks for QB Matthew Stafford, per @jacksettleman

packerfanoutwest (22-Oct) : I like the the Winter Warning Whites!

packerfanoutwest (22-Oct) : This was the first victory over a team with a winning record for the Packers.

wpr (22-Oct) : Isn't coffee a PES? Especially first thing in the morning.

Zero2Cool (22-Oct) : PED and PES ... guess they are different

beast (22-Oct) : I thought PED were a 4 game suspension. Also wonder if it's final or if he could still appeal it.

Zero2Cool (22-Oct) : Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is facing a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing

Mucky Tundra (22-Oct) : JK Scott with a booming 36 yard punt to give the Cards the ball at their own 27

Mucky Tundra (22-Oct) : Bucs shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers

beast (21-Oct) : I know, but I'm wondering whom is the emergency guy behind Orzech?

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : beast, look at "Kicker, we need one. Still" thread. Zero has a post there explaining it

beast (21-Oct) : I wonder whom the emergency LS is

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : nevermind about the LS, just saw Zeros post

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Got to work only to find there's no production! Woohoo!

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Woah, who's our long snapper now?

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk suffered a season-ending knee injury

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : DL Jonathan Ford off injured reserve/designated for return and released LS Matt Orzech

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : DL Ford is back, LS is cut

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : Oh, I know. I was going to include that but limited characters

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : *being

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Zero I was be facetious my man

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : Each network wants viewers. (duh right?) and NFL can't favor one over the other if money is equal. NFL also wants views too.

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : It's not so much rules, its variables.

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Well then they need to change the rules/guidelines ;) :P

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : I'm seeing lot of "smart" tweeter people being clueless

Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : Theres' lot of different rules/guidelines what not that go into it. not simple as pluck an move

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Dallas-Atlanta looks like a better flex option (no clue how many other prime time games they have)

Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Those both sound unappealing as a Sunday Night game tbh
