The Packers waived Chrest on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Chrest was picked up by the Packers in July after being let go by the Steelers in June. He overcame a disclocated pinkie finger injury to play in Green Bay's final two preseason games and accumulated two catches for 14 yards. Once he clears waivers, Chrest will look for opportunities elsewhere or could opt to return to the Packers on their practice squad.

Christ was able to pop the finger back in place following the incident and seemed optimistic about his status going forward. The undrafted free agent is competing against a crowded Packers receiving room and presumably on the outside looking in as of now. Thus, avoiding any time on the sideline will be essential for his chances.

Chrest and the Packers have agreed to terms on a deal, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
This move comes after Chrest had a successful tryout in Green Bay. The undrafted free agent was an All-WAC Second-Team selection during his final collegiate season at Sam Houston State. He recorded a 4.35 40-yard dash at his Pro Day and will look to use that speed to his advantage and turn some heads in camp.
