The Green Bay Packers have released Mecole Hardman, a three-time Super Bowl champion, and Isaiah Simmons, a former first-round pick, as part of their roster reduction to 53 players for the regular season. Hardman, known for his achievements with the Kansas City Chiefs, including a game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl LVIII, was unable to secure a spot on the Packers' roster. Simmons, who has played as both linebacker and safety, also failed to make the cut despite the Packers' hopes of finding a role for him.
