Packers Roster Update - Koren Robinson Could be Cut Thu May 1, 2008 The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the Packers have 13 wide receivers on their 80-man roster, and GM Ted Thompson couldn't say definitely that there would be room much longer for WR Koren Robinson. "We're still kind of working through our roster," Thompson said. "We're not letting anybody go. We'll see how it works itself out." Robinson, 28, played 196 snaps in nine regular-season games. Counting playoffs, he caught 25 passes for 257 yards (10.3) and one touchdown. A favorite of Brett Favre, Robinson has a bone-on-bone knee problem that probably isn't going to go away. Robinson was in Green Bay earlier in the week but has been working out back home in North Carolina, not with his teammates, since the off-season program for veterans began March 31. "Sometimes they have legitimate reasons why they're not here," Thompson said. "And I want to say his was a fairly legitimate reason. I just don't specifically remember what it was." Meanwhile, two veterans without contracts, TE Ryan Krause and C Tyson Walter, won't return, Thompson indicated.
