Packers release Joe Fortunato, leaving only one long snapper on roster

Hunter Bradley has survived one round of competition at long snapper for the Green Bay Packers.

The team released Joe Fortunato on Thursday, leaving only Bradley on the 90-man roster at long snapper.

Fortunato signed with the Packers in March. He was to provide competition for Bradley, a draft pick in 2018 who was inconsistent at times last season.

It’s unclear if Bradley has won the job outright or if the Packers will add more competition during the summer.

According to the league’s transaction wire, the Packers are claiming outside linebacker Chauncey Rivers, who will take Fortunato’s spot on the roster if he passes his physical.
