The Packers waived Chrest on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Chrest (finger) was targeted once and caught one pass for eight yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Chrest dislocated his pinkie in practice a little over a week ago, but he did not wind up missing any action. While Chrest is healthy, he is a long shot to make the cut when the Packers make roster moves in the coming days.

Chrest dislocated his pinkie finger at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Chrest was waived by the Steelers on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chrest signed with the Steelers on May 25, but he will now look for another opportunity elsewhere. The wide receiver went undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft after a three-year collegiate career with Sam Houston State and will likely operate as a practice squad option if he latches on with a team in 2023.

Chrest was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Chrest will head to Indianapolis after he spent the last three seasons of his college career with Sam Houston State, reeling in 36 catches for 548 yards and two scores in 2022. The 6-foot wideout will look to compete for a roster spot or practice-squad role this offseason.
