Green was released by the Packers on Saturday, ESPN Wisconsin reports.

Green and James Starks were competing for one of the final roster spots, though it now seems possible that both players will be cut in favor of Joe McKnight, who recently worked out for the Packers. Green was a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, but never looked the part, carrying 135 times for 464 yards (3.4 YPC) last season.
