Mandatory Credit: Kayla Wolf-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Perhaps in anticipation of the returns of Golden and Reed, the Packers made the decision on Monday to part ways with rookie wide receiver Will Sheppard, the team announced via Green Bay\u2019s official website .<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The Green Bay Packers released WR Will Sheppard. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Monday. Sheppard (6-3, 196), a rookie, joined the Packers in late July and spent the entire regular season on Green Bay\u2019s practice squad before being signed to the active roster last Wednesday.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sheppard went undrafted at the 2025 NFL Draft before being signed by Green Bay in July.<\/p>\n<p>He was later released by the team via roster cuts but reunited with Green Bay via a practice squad deal. On Nov. 26, he was elevated to the active roster before the Lions game.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_231227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231227\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Packers cut wide receiver before huge Week 14 game against Bears 2\" src=\"https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres.jpg 1226w, https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres-468x600.jpg 468w, https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres-768x985.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres-1198x1536.jpg 1198w, https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres-150x192.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres-450x577.jpg 450w, https:\/\/wisportsheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27685022_168400517_lowres-1200x1539.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Packers Cut Wide Receiver Before Huge Week 14 Game Against Bears\" width=\"1226\" height=\"1572\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1226px) 100vw, 1226px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-231227\">Sheppard (82) makes a touchdown reception during the second quarter of their preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Saturday, August 23, 2025 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Green Bay Packers are heading to Week 14 riding a wave of momentum, having won all their last three outings.
