Yet Another Packers Player Waived After Failing Physical
By Scott Rogust
The Green Bay Packers continue to have bad luck on the waiver wire this offseason.
According to ESPN Packers insider Rob Demovsky, the team waived linebacker Nicholas Grigsby Tuesday after he failed a physical.

Grigsby was placed on waivers earlier this week by the Baltimore Ravens.
The Packers have been hammered by injuries at the inside linebacker position. Oren Burks is dealing with a pectoral injury that luckily won't require surgery, but he is expected to miss a number of weeks. Curtis Bolton suffered a knee injury during Green Bay's preseason game against the Oakland Raiders, but has reportedly been walking without a limp.
Third time this has happened to the Packers this summer. https://t.co/FqPwn2lw2l

With Grigsby now back on waivers, this is now the third time this preseason in which Green Bay claimed a player that subsequently failed a physical. The other two to go back onto the waiver wire? Tight end Michael Roberts and cornerback Derrick Jones.
The Packers are a little over a week away before their regular season opener against the NFC North rival Chicago Bears, and will have to go back to the drawing board to add depth at inside linebacker.
