The Green Bay Packers released rookie undrafted free agent Rodney Mathews to clear a roster spot for former San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Spencer Waege, who was claimed off of waivers on Thursday, per Field Yates of ESPN.
Waege is a South Shore native and former Watertown High School & NDSU (photo) standout.
Update? Is Waege on the practice squad for the Packers?
