Cotton (undisclosed) was waived/injured by Green Bay on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After being placed on the active/PUP list July 21, the Packers have moved on from Cotton in order to sign wideout Cody Chrest. The Idaho product spent the last nine weeks of the 2022 NFL season on Green Bay's practice squad and also had a brief stint in Jacksonville, with whom he appeared in one game.

Cotton (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Packers on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cotton will open camp on the training camp the sidelines as he deals with an undisclosed injury, but he'll be eligible to return to practice and play at any point this preseason. The wide receiver signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers in January, and the earlier he can return, the better chance he can earn any sort of roster spot in 2023.

The Packers signed Cotton to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cotton bounced around practice squads during the first two seasons of his career and spent much of the 2022 campaign unsigned after being cut by the Cardinals on Sept. 20. The 25-year-old wideout then landed a deal with the Packers' practice squad Nov. 9, and he finished the season on this unit without ever making an appearance for Green Bay. Cotton has played one game during the 2021 season with Jacksonville, and he'll look to carve out a spot in the Packers' young receiving corps this offseason.

The Packers signed Cotton to their practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cotton has made just one NFL appearance, for the Jaguars in 2021, since joining the league as an undrafted free agent with the Chargers. Green Bay is currently dealing with injuries to Allen Lazard (shoulder), Randall Cobb (ankle), Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Sammy Watkins (knee), so it isn't surprising to see them add wideout depth, though it's unlikely Cotton will be elevated to the active roster anytime soon.

Cotton was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cotton spent most of last season on the Jaguars' practice squad, ultimately appearing in one contest for the franchise. He linked up with the Cardinals on Sept. 14, yet it appears his time with the franchise will be short. He'll now work to earn an opportunity elsewhere.

The Cardinals signed Cotton to their practice squad Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cotton and JaVonta Payton were signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday after the team placed Victor Bolden (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list. Arizona may be without Rondale Moore (hamstring) for a second straight game in Week 2 and won't have DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) until Week 6, so Cotton and Payton could be potential roster elevations moving forward. Cotton appeared in his first NFL game last year with the Jaguars, but he played mostly on special teams.
