Trey Dean: Waived with injury designation
Rotowire
Dean (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Packers on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.
Dean compiled six total tackles (four solo) during the preseason with Green Bay, but he may have suffered an injury at some point along the way. The safety will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with the Packers. At that point, he'd need to reach an injury settlement with the team in order to have a chance to play in 2026.

The 26-year-old spent the 2026 UFL campaign with the Louisville Kings and St. Louis Battlehawks, recording 20 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across six regular-season games.
