After the game, Cook wore a walking boot and exited the locker room on crutches.

TEs Backman and Henry were on the IR, but are no longer there. Which makes me assumes that they (and others) got injury settlements. The injury settlements means they can't sign with any team until the agreed on number of weeks pay is up... and then they can sign with any of the other 31 teams. After 6 weeks (or so), they can then sign with any of the 32 teams.

Though to be honest... I'm interested in the TE the Packers have on the PS. TE Devon Cajuste (6-4, 235), college WR and "brother" to former/current teammate Ty Montgomery. Of course you need to look around the NFL to see if there is better, but if their is a TE opening and IF Cajuste can help out on STs... then I'd like to see if he could become a receiving TE for the Packers. He seemed to run good WR routes in college and the TE coach has had some success coaching raw players with the Bucs and Browns.

There are always different numbers for NFL 40 yard times, so I like using nfldraftscout

nfldraftscout, at the combine
Davante Adams at 212 lbs. ran a 4.56 in the 40.
James Jones at 207 lbs. ran a 4.60 in the 40.
Devon Cajuste at 234 lbs. ran a 4.62 in the 40.

For that weight, Cajuste's speed isn't bad. Of course it's not crazy good like Cook.
Cook was 6'5", 246 lbs. and ran a 4.50.

This is why I don't like the Packers targeting top-tier (and top-dollar) talent unless it's one of those "last piece in the puzzle" players. Lambeau's got an injury curse.
