Harris was released by the Packers in advance of Thursday's game at Detroit, the team's official site reports.
Active in just six games this season, Harris turned four carries in 19 yards and couldn't haul in his sole target. The Packers have opted to promote John Crockett from the practice squad to fill Harris' spot on the 53-man roster. If Harris passes through waivers unclaimed, he could very well complete a perfect swap.
