Packers' Kitan Oladapo: Plays nine snaps vs. Cleveland
Rotowire
Oladapo (toe) played all nine of his snaps on special teams in Saturday's 23-10 preseason win over the Browns.
Oladapo was held out of practices due to a toe injury, but he was able to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener. The rookie fifth-rounder is competing for a depth spot in the Packers' secondary, though his chances appear slim after not playing a single snap on defense.

The Packers placed Oladapo (toe) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The fifth-round rookie was in a walking boot last month after breaking his toe at the NFL Scouting Combine and had said he planned to be ready for training camp. He's likely close to 100 percent, but the Packers want to give Oladapo a little more time to heal. He can be activated at any time during training camp or the preseason.

Packers' Kitan Oladapo: Hopes to be ready by training camp
Rotowire
Oladapo (toe) is wearing a walking boot Thursday and said he expects to be back for training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Oladapo, a rookie fifth-round pick, is recovering from surgery undergone to address a broken toe he said he suffered at the NFL Scouting Combine. Though Oladapo missed OTAs and looks like he'll also sit out all of mandatory minicamp, it will be encouraging if he's able to get back on the field for training camp as a full participant.

Packers' Kitan Oladapo: Yet another secondary piece for GB
Rotowire
The Packers selected Oladapo in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 169th overall.
Oladapo becomes the third safety selected by the Packers in the past three rounds. While the starting safety role opposite the newly signed Xavier McKinney projected as an obvious need for Green Bay, the team does have intriguing 2023 seventh-round pick Anthony Johnson also in the fold, so this level of aggressiveness is noteworthy, especially with name-value free agents still out on the market. A three-year starter at Oregon State, the 6-foot-2, 221 pound Oladapo projects more as a thumping safety at the NFL level and will add value in special teams almost immediately.
