The Green Bay Packers released Koren Robinson on Friday, the latest setback for the veteran wide receiver trying to resurrect his career after serving an NFL suspension and jail time.

Packers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Jermichael Finley, 21, is one of the youngest players on a youthful Packers team, but he'll have a chance to grow up in a hurry this offseason.

The third-round draft pick from Texas should get plenty of reps as the No. 2 tight end in the four weeks of organized team activities, which start May 19.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said at the end of the three-day rookie orientation camp in early May that Tory Humphrey is among a handful of players who probably will be held out of the OTAs and the mandatory June minicamp as they continue their recoveries from significant injuries sustained last season.

Humphrey, a promising third-year prospect, suffered a season-ending broken fibula on the first day of training camp.
