Story summary

The Green Bay Packers waived rookie cornerback Domani Jackson as part of 53-man roster cuts.
Jackson missed training camp start after offseason core-muscle surgery, limiting his preparation.
In two preseason games, he allowed six catches for 112 yards and a touchdown.
His release leaves the Packers with five true cornerbacks: Cisse, Nixon, Valentine, St-Juste, and Hadden.
Reporters said Jackson could still sign to the Packers practice squad after clearing waivers.

History

Historical Context

Paul Brown’s 1940s “taxi squad” became the NFL’s formal “future list” in 1965, then was eliminated in 1974 when the league expanded the active roster to 47 players. The 1995 Panthers-Jaguars expansion cut 12 veterans, showing how cut-down practices persist; today the Green Bay Packers waived rookie cornerback Domani Jackson, continuing that legacy.
