The Green Bay Packers waived tight ends Luke Lachey and RJ Maryland on July 31, 2026, due to injuries. Lachey left Monday’s practice on a scooter and in a boot, while Maryland is dealing with a hamstring injury. The Packers subsequently signed McCallan Castles and Drew Biber to bolster their tight end depth, as injuries have plagued the position during training camp. With multiple players injured or unable to practice, the team is working to reset its roster ahead of the preseason.
