No waiver claims for Packers, WR Malik Turner claimed by Cowboys

The Green Bay Packers did not add a player off of waivers on Sunday, but one former Packers player does have a new home.

Of the 32 NFL teams, only 12 added a player via waivers, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Packers weren’t one of the 12.

The Dallas Cowboys did claim a player: former Packers receiver Malik Turner, who was released by GM Brian Gutekunst on Saturday. He’ll join former Packers coach Mike McCarthy in Dallas.

Turner was among the Packers’ notable cuts. He was joined by the likes of running back Dexter Williams, receiver Jake Kumerow, offensive tackle Alex Light and outside linebacker Tim Williams.

Once a player passes through waivers, they are free to sign anywhere, including to practice squads.
