Packers finalize 53-man roster and place Micah Parsons on reserve PUP
Summary

The Green Bay Packers finalized their 53-man roster on August 30, 2026, ahead of the regular season. As part of these moves, linebacker Micah Parsons was officially transitioned from the active/physically unable to perform list to reserve/PUP, ruling him out for the start of the season. The club released 30 players, including Cal Adomitis, Damien Martinez, and Pierre Strong Jr., while waiving three players with injury designations. TE Luke Musgrave and DT Jordon Riley also landed on the reserve/PUP list. The team retained two quarterbacks, Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor. The roster also accounts for a pending trade with the Steelers for running back Kaleb Johnson, which remains subject to a physical examination. This group of three tailbacks, featuring Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd, will join the active squad upon completion of the trade.
