Packers release LB A.J. Hawk

The Packers have released veteran LB A.J. Hawk, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.

Hawk, the team's first-round pick in the 2006 draft, had been with Green Bay for a good nine seasons, making the Pro Bowl once in 2010.

He also won a Super Bowl with the Packers that year, the highlight of a career the record books will too remember. Throughout his tenure in Green and Gold, Hawk collected 1,118 tackles -- the most in Packers history.

Hopefully he'll find a new job soon. It was kinda fun watching him flip off the camera all those years ago.

Report: No Change in Finley's Medical Status Despite Recent Tweets

On Thursday, Free Agent TE Jermichael Finley sent out a very convincing tweet.

The injured veteran, still without a team as training camp nears, has yet to be cleared to play this offseason, yet is still constantly in the news. 

This tweet didn't change that.

"Awesome News!" Finley wrote. "#IWillRiseAgain."

It wasn't long or detailed by any means, but it was definitely something to see.

Howevever, according to ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky, the message doesn't mean anything, as Finley's medical status has apparently not changed.

"I can tell you that after talking to several people about the matter after those tweets, that there has been no change in either his medical clearance or his contractual status with the Packers," Demovsky stated. "Until the former changes, meaning the Packers' doctors give him the OK to return to the field, nothing will happen with the latter."

Finley, who has played for Green Bay for the last six seasons, has been the center of these kind of rumors since suffering his neck injury back in Week 7, with this just being the latest. In other words, most if not all of these positive reports aren't true, something #88's doctors seem to agree on.
