Packers make no waiver claims
Packers General Manager Ted Thompson said the team didn't put in any waiver claims following Saturday's NFL cutdown.
There were expectations the Packers would claim long snapper Thomas Gafford, who was cut by the Chicago Bears and had been in training camp with the Packers earlie this summer. The Packers don't have a long snapper on their 53-man roster after placing J.J. Jansen on injured reserve Saturday. However, the Packers are holding tryouts for the position and are expected to sign a player early this week. Someone would have to be cut to make room for a long snapper.
* Thompson said he is comfortable going into the regular season with quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and rookies Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn. The three have combined for zero NFL career starts. Although Thompson wouldn't rule out signing a veteran quarterback, his demeanor suggested he would stick with what he currently has at that position.
* Defensive tackle Daniel Muir was cut by the Packers on Saturday and claimed by the Indianapolis Colts. Muir played all of last season with the Packers.
