Ellis Merriweather: Doesn't make 53-man roster

Merriweather was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Merriweather spent the second half of the 2023 season on the Packers' practice squad, and he signed with Green Bay in January on a reserve/future deal. He was competing for a depth spot at running back behind Josh Jacobs, and across three preseason outings, Merriweather turned 26 carries into 99 yards. If Merriweather clears waivers, he could look to stick around on the Packers' practice squad or explore his opportunities elsewhere.
