Fulgham didn’t even last a week in Green Bay after the Lions cut him
Travis Fulgham’s tenure with the Green Bay Packers did not last long. Less than a week after being claimed off waivers from the Lions, Fulgham was sent packing by the Packers.
The second-year wideout was released by the Packers on Wednesday. Green Bay needed roster space to activate a player or two from its reserve/COVID-19 list, and Fulgham failed to show enough in a handful of practices to stick around.
The Lions brought back WR Chris Lacy later in the day, an indication that they have no real interest in reuniting with their sixth-round pick from 2019. Lacy and Fulgham were both cut by Detroit on the same day. Fulgham showed little in his Detroit time either and could be on his way out of the league.
The Packers cut two players on Wednesday.
The Green Bay Packers trimmed their roster by two on Wednesday.
The team announced the release of receiver Travis Fulgham and offensive tackle Travis Bruffy, two necessary moves with players returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Packers signed Bruffy as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech in April. Fulgham was claimed off of waivers from the Detroit Lions last week.
Earlier Wednesday, the Packers activated long snapper Hunter Bradley from the COVID-19 list. Outside linebacker Greg Roberts remains on the list.
The NFL requires teams to be at no more than 80 players in order to hold practices without split squads. The Packers are at 79 players, with Roberts likely to be the 80th once he’s officially activated.

The Packers added WR Travis Fulgham, a sixth-round pick of the Lions last year, to the team’s roster on Saturday.
On the day of the team’s first training camp practice, the Green Bay Packers officially added another wide receiver to the roster.
The Packers announced the addition of receiver Travis Fulgham, who was claimed off of waivers from the Detroit Lions.
Fulgham, a sixth-round pick of the Lions in 2019, played in three games as a rookie in Detroit. He was targeted three times but didn’t have a catch.
Fulgham (6-2, 211) is the second new receiver added to the roster this week, joining former Seattle Seahawks receiver Malik Turner. The Packers have 11 receivers on the current roster.
Fulgham will wear No. 18 with the Packers.

The Detroit Lions released wide receiver Travis Fulgham on Sunday in an effort to get down to 80-players and he was claimed off waivers by division rival Green Bay Packers.
In an effort to get down to 80-players, the Detroit Lions released wide receiver Travis Fulgham on Sunday and he was claimed off waivers by division rival Green Bay Packers.
Entering the offseason, the Packers had a glaring need at receiver and they failed to add weapons at the position. Their biggest move at receiver was signing former Michigan Wolverine Devin Funchess in free agency but he elected to opt-out of the 2020 season, leaving them with a hole in the starting lineup.
The Packers do return five of their six rostered receivers from last season — losing Geronimo Allison to the Lions in free agency — and there is a real opportunity for Fulgham to crack the 53-man roster in Green Bay. With no preseason, it’s an uphill battle, but Fulgham has the potential to land a role in Green Bay.
Of note, the other four players released at the same time as Fulgham — wide receiver Chris Lacy, guard Joshua Garnett, defensive lineman Jonathan Wynn, and linebacker Christian Sam — all passed through waiver unclaimed.
The Packers added a former draft pick of the Lions at the wide receiver position, claiming Travis Fulgham off of waivers.
The Green Bay Packers are adding a wide receiver to the roster.
The team claimed Travis Fulgham, a sixth-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2019, off of waivers from the Lions on Monday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
Fulgham played in three games in December for the Lions last season. He was targeted three times but didn’t have a catch.
Fulgham, who turns 25 in September, caught 128 passes for 2,044 yards and 18 touchdowns over four years at Old Dominion. The Lions made him the 184th overall pick in the 2019 draft.
In Green Bay, Fulgham will have a chance to compete for a roster spot among a group of unproven wide receivers.
Fulgham (6-2, 213) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.58 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine. He also had a 36.5″ vertical leap and 10-6 broad jump. At his pro day, he posted a three-cone time of 6.94 seconds.
Fulgham was waived by the Lions on Aug. 9.

Releasing them now gives those vets a chance to try and land elsewhere
Six Detroit Lions veterans woke up to the U2 song “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. The team announced it has cut all six players after less than a full week in the building for training camp.
The most notable here is Travis Fulgham. His agent announced his release on Saturday and the team confirmed they are dumping the 2019 sixth-round wideout.
WR Travis Fulgham
G Josh Garnett
DB Michael Jackson
WR Chris Lacy
LB Christian Sam
DE Jonathan Wynn
Lacy’s name is the biggest surprise here. With the reports of Fulgham being released on Saturday, some speculated Lacy might be the biggest beneficiary.
There is a theme here with all these players. All have at least some NFL experience and all were unlikely to earn more than the final roster spot in Detroit in 2020. Releasing them now gives those vets a chance to try and land elsewhere. With no preseason games to audition for other teams, a straight early release like this is their best chance to latch on and show something in another training camp.
