Ty Summers: Waived by Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers waived Summers on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Summers was drafted by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft and appeared in 46 games across three years in Green Bay, though he mostly played on special teams. The Packers re-signed De'Vondre Campbell and spent a first-round pick on Quay Walker this offseason, which pushed Summers further down the depth chart. However, Summers was still expected to compete with Isaiah McDuffie for a special-teams gig, but the latter has outplayed the former during training camp. Regardless, per Rapoport, the seventh-round pick should get some looks while on the waiver wire.

Packers' Ty Summers: Goes on injured reserve
Rotowire
Summers (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Summers had already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Browns. His move to IR will put him out for the rest of the regular season, with a chance to return in the playoffs. Selected in the seventh round of the 2019 draft, Summers has primarily contributed on special teams, so his absence shouldn't impact the Packers' defense.

Rotowire
Summers recorded seven tackles (six solo) across 52 defensive snaps in Monday's win over the Falcons.

Packers' Ty Summers: Ties for team lead in tackles
Rotowire
Summers stepped in for an injured Christian Kirksey (shoulder) in Sunday's victory over the Saints and tied for the team lead with nine total tackles.
Summers had never logged a defensive snap until Sunday, but he was pressed into duty after Kirksey left the game and wound up playing the most snaps among the Packers' inside linebackers. Summers will presumably assume Kirksey's spot in the starting lineup -- a position that leads to a lot of tackles in Mike Pettine's defense -- should Kirksey miss more time.

Packers' Ty Summers: Suffers possible head injury
Rotowire
Summers left Sunday's game against the Panthers and is being evaluated for a concussion.
Summers was on the wrong end of a direct head-to-head hit late in the second quarter and needed help getting to the sideline. He'll need to be cleared from the NFL's independent neurologist in order to return to action. In his stead, Oren Burks is in line to see an uptick in depth linebacker snaps.

Packers' Ty Summers: Another 10-tackle effort
Rotowire
Summers had 10 tackles (nine solo) in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens.
Summers accumulated 10 tackles for the second time in three preseason games, so he's faring well in the output department. The Packers are pretty banged up at the inside linebacker position, so Summers -- an undrafted free agent -- is in decent position to earn a roster spot.

Packers' Ty Summers: Drafted by Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers selected Summers in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 226th overall.
Well, it took until the Packers' last draft pick, but they finally added a middle linebacker in the form of Summers. The TCU product struggled in pass coverage, primarily providing value as a pass-rushing inside linebacker and two-down thumper, so it's safe to say 2018 third-round pick Oren Burks should be considered the frontrunner to start opposite Blake Martinez despite failing to impress in limited work during his rookie campaign.
