The Green Bay Packers will lose Robert Foster before the speedy wide receiver ever steps foot on the field in a green-and-gold uniform.
According to Matt Zenitz of AL.com, the Washington Football Team is signing Foster off of the Packers’ practice squad.
Foster, who played his first two seasons with the Buffalo Bills, signed with the Packers practice squad on Sept. 9. He spent the first six weeks of the regular season on the practice squad in Green Bay.
Despite injuries at receiver, the Packers never elevated Foster from the practice squad to the active roster. In Washington, Foster will join the team’s 53-man roster.
Foster is an undrafted free agent from Alabama. He caught 30 passes for 605 yards and three touchdowns over 26 games with the Bills in 2018 and 2019.
Once Foster departs, the Packers will have only two wide receivers on the practice squad: Reggie Begelton and Juwann Winfree. Kalija Lipscomb was released on Tuesday.
