Samori Toure: Finds work in Chicago
Toure signed with the Bears' practice squad Thursday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Toure failed to make the Packers' initial 53-man roster Tuesday and has since opted to sign with the Bears' practice squad. The 2022 seventh-round pick out of Nebraska spent the first two seasons of his career in Green Bay, appearing in 22 regular-season games and recording 160 receiving yards on 13 receptions, with one touchdown.

Samori Toure: Cut by Green Bay
Toure was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
The wide receiver caught five passes for 53 yards in the preseason but missed out on the sixth and final spot on Green Bay's depth chart. Toure caught 13 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown over his first two seasons with the Packers.

Packers' Samori Toure: Nabs two more receptions
Toure corralled two of four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Ravens.
Toure got consistent work this preseason in the absence of Green Bay's regular starters, finishing with five receptions for 53 yards and one carry for as many yards. The third-year receiver remains in the mix for one of the Packers' final roster spots as Week 1 approaches.

Packers' Samori Toure: Tallies two receptions
Toure was targeted twice and caught two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's preseason game against the Broncos.
Toure tallied a reception, a carry and two punt returns in the first game of the exhibition season, and he tacked on two more catches Sunday. He remains in the mix for a roster spot, but he occupies no higher than the seventh spot on the depth chart.

Packers' Samori Toure: Active for OTAs
Toure (knee) was an active participant at the Packers' first week of OTAs, Brandon Carwile of Packers Wire reports.
Toure missed the the Packers' regular season finale and both of the team's playoff contests last year while nursing a knee injury, but looks to be back to full strength ahead of the 2024 campaign. The wide receiver will likely provide Green Bay with an added depth option behind the likes of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed once again this season.

Packers' Samori Toure: Unlikely to return this season
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Toure (knee), who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, will "be down for a while," Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Toure was spotted using crutches Wednesday. He would technically be eligible to return to action for the Super Bowl in the event Green Bay advances to the title game Feb. 11, but in all likelihood, his next chance to suit up will come next season.

Packers' Samori Toure: Placed on IR
The Packers placed Toure (knee) on the injured reserve list Monday.
The move corresponds with the Packers signing wide receiver Bo Melton from the practice squad to the active roster. Toure played nine snaps in Sunday's win and finished with one catch for minus-6 yards while also muffing a punt on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Packers' Samori Toure: Inactive for Week 15
Toure (coach's decision) won't suit up against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Toure logged 18 offensive snaps last week against the Giants, seeing his most work since Week 3. He reeled in two of four targets for 22 yards in the loss to New York, but he won't suit up one week later. Christian Watson is inactive Sunday due to a hamstring injury, but Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) will play, and Green Bay also elevated Bo Melton from the practice squad Saturday to serve as additional wide-receiver depth.

Packers' Samori Toure: Pressed into bigger role
Toure was targeted four times and caught two passes for 22 yards in Monday's 24-22 loss to the Giants.
He suited up Monday with fellow wideout Christian Watson (hamstring) unavailable, and with another receiver -- Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) -- leaving the game early, Toure wound up playing his most snaps since Week 3. He could see an elevated role again in Week 15 if Green Bay is still shorthanded at his position.

Packers' Samori Toure: Inactive Sunday
Toure (coach's decision) will not play Sunday against the Rams, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
The wide receiver played in the Packers' first seven games of the season but his snap count fell from a peak of 30 in Week 3 to less than 10 the last three games. Toure has five catches for 62 yards this season. The 2022 seventh-round pick is not a contributor on special teams either.

Packers' Samori Toure: Snap count takes hit
Toure was targeted once and caught one pass for 35 yards in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Lions.
The reception was easily Toure's longest of the season, but it was the only pass he saw thrown his direction, which isn't too surprising given that he played far fewer snaps than he did in the first three weeks. With fellow wideout Christian Watson joining the fray in Week 4 and another one -- Malik Heath -- dropped from the game-day roster, consider Toure Green Bay's fifth receiver moving forward.

Packers' Samori Toure: Snags two passes Sunday
Toure was targeted three times and caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears.
Toure tallied only one target and one reception over the final eight games of the 2022 season, but he topped both numbers in Week 1 of 2023 despite finishing fifth among Packers wideouts in offensive snaps. Although Toure posted better numbers than the two rookie receivers who earned a spot on Green Bay's roster, his playing time and the fact another wideout ahead of him on the depth chart -- Christian Watson (hamstring) -- did not play Sunday suggest his opportunities to make an impact will be limited.
