Who Should I Start? Samori Toure or Jason Bean

Tuesday, August 27, 5:24 PM

The Green Bay Packers released wide receiver Samori Toure on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, according to a league source. Toure just could survive final cuts among a pretty talented group of young pass-catchers in Green Bay. The 26-year-old was drafted in the seventh round in 2022 out of Nebraska and only managed to haul in 13 of his 28 targets for 160 yards and one touchdown with minimal offensive snaps in 22 total games (two starts) over the last two years. He had eight receptions for 78 scoreless yards in 11 regular-season games in 2023. The six wideouts that the Packers ended up keeping on their 53-man roster are Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Malik Heath and Bo Melton. If Toure doesn't get re-signed to the Packers' practice squad, he'll be looking for work elsewhere as a free agent.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Jason Bean completed seven of his nine passes for 94 yards and one interception in the team's win over the Cardinals. Bean also rushed the ball four times for 14 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The former Jayhawk is competing for a spot in a pretty crowded QB room, vying for a QB3 role alongside Kedon Slovis and Sam Ehlinger. Bean will get one final shot to try and make the 53-man roster this Thursday when the Colts take on the Bengals in their final preseason game.
