The hourglass emptied for punt returner Amari Rodgers on Sunday. The Green Bay Packers couldn’t take another fumble from the 2021 third-round draft choice and informed him Monday night that they were releasing him.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur and special teams coach Rich Bisaccia were extremely patient with Rodgers because they thought he had the potential to be a very good punt returner. He also fumbled twice and misjudged several punts his rookie year, but with the arrival of Bisaccia he had new life.
“He puts in the extra work, but this is a production-based business. Unfortunately, things happen in the business and I wish him well and I hope whatever opportunity comes following or wherever life takes him that he continues to press and be the best version of himself.” Another option the Packers have is veteran Dede Westbrook, who was signed to the practice squad Tuesday.
