GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Reports that Rashan Gary was leaving the Green Bay Packers were the result of a hacked social media account, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.
A post circulating online earlier suggested Gary was moving on from Green Bay. However, Demovsky reported the defensive lineman’s account had been compromised and the message was not legitimate.
At this time, Gary has not been released or traded and remains a member of the Packers.
