Packers re-fill practice squad by signing WR Jeff Cotton

After releasing Kawaan Baker on Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers re-filled the practice squad by signing wide receiver Jeff Cotton on Wednesday.

Cotton, an undrafted free agent from Idaho in 2020, has spent time with Los Angeles Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Arizona Cardinals over the last three years.

Cotton (6-2, 206) played in one game for the Jaguars in 2021 and was on the field for one offensive snap and 14 special teams snaps.

The Cardinals released him from the practice squad earlier this season.

Over two seasons at Idaho, Cotton caught 132 passes for 1,732 yards and 13 touchdowns. He had 83 catches and went over 1,000 yards in just 11 games in 2019, and he had a catch of at least 70 yards in each season. Cotton also returned 16 kickoffs and rushed twice for 28 yards.

Cotton did not test athletically before the 2020 draft.

Cotton will wear No. 82 in Green Bay.
