Juwann Winfree: Cut by Indianapolis
Rotowire
Winfree was waived by the Colts on Saturday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Winfree hadn't appeared in a game in almost a month, so it's no surprise that Indianapolis decided to part ways with the 27-year-old wideout. The fourth-year pro appeared in seven games for the Colts this season, failing to haul in his only target and playing 90 total snaps (21 offensive and 69 on special teams).

Juwann Winfree: Cut from practice squad
Rotowire
The Colts cut Winfree from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Winfree was elevated to Indy's active roster for the first three games of the season, but he only saw five snaps of action in Week 1. He then spent the following two weeks on the practice squad, and apparently the team has decided to move on. The 27-year-old previously had stints with the Broncos and Packers before landing with the Colts in the offseason.

Winfree was active in Week 3 for the third time this season, with all of his snaps over his past two contests coming on special teams. He's yet to record a stat on the campaign. In order for Winfree to be on the team's active roster again this year, the Colts would need to sign him to their 53-man roster.

Juwann Winfree: Moves back to practice squad
Rotowire
Winfree reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Winfree was promoted to Green Bay's game-day roster for the third time this season after landing with the team's practice squad at the end of training camp. However, the 26-year-old failed to haul in his lone target while playing 13 offensive snaps behind fellow wideouts Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs, Randall Cobb (ankle) and Amari Rodgers on Sunday. Now that the team has exercised his last remaining practice squad elevation of the season, it's possible the Packers choose to add Winfree to the active roster, as Cobb, Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) are all dealing with injuries.

Juwann Winfree: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Winfree reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Winfree was once again elevated from Green Bay's practice squad with Christian Watson (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Samori Toure (coach's decision) all out against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Still, the fourth-year wideout failed to haul in either of his two targets while playing 13 of the Packers' 62 offensive snaps. Winfree also played three snaps on special teams, and he's now eligible for one more elevation while on Green Bay's practice squad this season.

Packers' Juwann Winfree: Will fill in Sunday
Rotowire
Green Bay elevated Winfree from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3.
Winfree was also elevated ahead of Week 1 at Minnesota, where he played in 15 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps and caught his lone target for 17 yards. After Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, he will be eligible for only one more elevation from the practice squad before he would have to be added to the team's active roster to play further. Winfree could be in line for more opportunities than he saw at the Vikings if one or both of Christian Watson (hamstring) or Randall Cobb (illness) sits out Sunday.

Packers' Juwann Winfree: Elevated to active roster
Rotowire
Winfree has been promoted to the Packers' active roster for Sunday's opener against the Vikings.
Winfree was the odd man out at wide receiver during Green Bay's final roster cuts. However, with Allen Lazard (ankle) doubtful, he will now suit up and help provide depth at the position. Aside from Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers, Winfree will be the only active receiver who has ever caught a regular-season pass from Aaron Rodgers. Still, it remains to be seen how many snaps he ultimately sees.

Packers' Juwann Winfree: Quiet in final exhibition
Rotowire
Winfree was targeted six times and caught one pass for seven yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Chiefs.
Winfree had more than a handful of chances in Thursday's contest, but he was only able to come down with one football thrown his direction. The quiet night probably did not ding Winfree, as having been with the Packers for nearly two years he did not need to show much in the team's final exhibition contest. However, with five widedouts -- and possibly a sixth -- guaranteed a roster spot in Green Bay, he finds himself firmly on the bubble with final cuts looming.

Packers' Juwann Winfree: Garners start in exhibition opener
Rotowire
Winfree started Friday's preseason opener against the 49ers and caught three passes for 27 yards.
Winfree did not stand out in Friday's contest, but he did make a nice catch off a tipped pass and hauled in the football all three times he was targeted. Of greatest import is the fact he -- along with Romeo Doubs -- was one of two receivers who opened the game on the field. The Packers held out a handful of wideouts, but the starting assignment confirms Winfree is in good standing among the group of receivers competing for a spot on the Packers' roster for Week 1.
