Hilton was waived by the Commanders on Saturday and will now find a new home with the Packers.

With Jayden Reed (ankle) and Matthew Golden (toe) injured, all preseason reps are likely wide open to any receivers on the roster who can make an impression.

Commanders' Chris Hilton: Secures UDFA deal
Rotowire
Hilton signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent Thursday.
Hilton was a four-star recruit in LSU's 2021 class alongside Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, but his career never took off, partly due to injuries. The 23-year-old wide receiver never posted more than 243 receiving yards in a season through five years at LSU. Still, Hilton ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, so he could at least make some noise on special teams en route to a potential roster spot.
