Packers

Friday morning, a report surfaced that the Packers elected to waive TE Martellus Bennett because of a torn rotator cuff (NFLTR).

Packers HC Mike McCarthy wouldnโ€™t get into specifics as to why they elected to move on from Bennett, but he confirmed that they discussed him undergoing surgery earlier in the week.

โ€œIโ€™m not going to get into the Patriots claiming Marty, Iโ€™ll just reiterate what I said yesterday: I just know what the facts are and how the timeline came about,โ€ McCarthy said, via ESPN.com. โ€œI talked to him Tuesday [following the bye week] after practice and he a shoulder concern injury. I advised him to get the second opinions. He did that and he went to a number of them. The last medical conversation I was involved with in regards to Marty, they were talking about scheduling surgery. After that, then you have the termination and then the claim. I really donโ€™t have any comments on that. Iโ€™ve answered the question for the last time, respectfully.โ€
