Schum (back) cleared waivers and reverted to the Packers' injured reserve.
EDGE Analysis
Schum had been dealing with a back injury for weeks and was waived Thursday. In his absence, Justin Vogel will take over as the top punter in Green Bay, but the Packers could always bring in someone else for competition.

Schum signed his exclusive rights free agent contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his second full year in the NFL, and first with the Packers, averaged 43.2 yards per punt, with a long of 65 yards, and had 19 punts downed inside the 20 yard line, all of which were career highs. It's unclear if the Packers will bring in any competition for Schum in the offseason or training camp, or if he'll simply be given the job in 2017.
