Gets new contract from Falcons Atlanta signed Baylor to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact Baylor signed with the Packers in May of 2022 as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon State, but he was waived in mid-August. The running back then went unsigned before joining the Falcons' practice squad Sept. 15. Baylor recorded 227 carries for 1,337 yards and 13 touchdowns during his final collegiate season, and he'll look to carve out a roster spot as a potential backup behind Avery Williams, Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson this offseason.

Joins practice squad Baylor signed with the Falcons' practice squad Thursday.

Impact Baylor went undrafted out of Oregon State in the spring, then linked up with the Packers before getting waived Aug. 16. His signing will bolster Atlanta's running back depth with Damien Williams (ribs) currently questionable for Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Waived by Green Bay The Packers waived Baylor on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Baylor rushed seven times for 19 yards and caught two receptions for 75 yards -- including a 68-yard catch and run -- during his NFL preseason debut. However, he's among the first wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 85-man roster deadline. He'll likely be an intriguing option for teams lacking running back depth after putting together a solid training camp culminating in a breakout performance last Friday, but he was always a long shot to make Green Bay's initial 53-man roster with Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Patrick Taylor and Kylin Hill (knee) all returning.

Makes mark in pro debut Baylor had seven carries for 19 yards and two receptions for 75 yards in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers.

Impact Baylor did not do much on most of his nine touches, but he did at least make a mark with a 68-yard catch and run early in the second half. Baylor has been with the Packers since signing with the team as an undrafted free agent back in May, but he checks in no higher than fifth on the depth chart among healthy Packers running backs.
