Projected for outright cut with no return to practice squad.NegativeDepth ChartAug 19, 2026
Hilton Jr., whose ranking drew the most controversy in the preview, was waived by the Commanders and claimed by the Packers when the Commanders signed G Max Scharping, C Daniel Brunskill, and T Nicholas Petit-Frere. He has recorded his first and only preseason special teams snap with Green Bay and appears to be the only former Mason/Brennan hopeful to sign with another team after being released by the Commanders.NegativeUsageAug 16, 2026

Claimed off waivers by the Packers after being waived by the Commanders; undrafted prospect from LSU with 41 catches for 780 yards over five years; joins a crowded receiver depth chart that includes Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Savion Williams, Skyy Moore, Bo Melton, Will Sheppard, Isaiah Neyor, Kaden Prather, and J. Michael Sturdivant.NegativeInjuryAug 10, 2026
Hilton's college career was sidetracked by multiple injuries: torn meniscus in 2021 (redshirt season after four games), shoulder surgery and torn meniscus in other knee in 2022 (missed 10 games), healthy in 2023, hairline fracture in 2024 (missed 7 games), and healthy in 2025. He started only seven games over five years at LSU.NegativeProjectionAug 10, 2026
Hilton's college production was limited by injuries and inconsistent opportunity. Over five years at LSU, he had 41 receptions for 780 yards and six touchdowns in his SEC career, but only registered 10 receptions for 122 yards as a redshirt senior when the Tigers' passing game struggled after QB Garrett Nussmeier injured his abs. Brugler noted Hilton was up and down with his hands—his success rate nosedived when defenders crowded his air space—and a limited snap count hindered his route-running development.NegativeProjectionAug 10, 2026
LSU receiver measured 6'0" and 188 pounds at the combine with a 4.41-second 40-yard dash. Dane Brugler ranked him 50th among receivers in the 2026 draft class with a free agent grade. RAS.football noted okay size for a WR and good speed, but explosiveness is neither a strength nor weakness, and poor agility drills are likely to show up against NFL cornerbacks.NegativeRoleAug 10, 2026
Undrafted receiver from LSU claimed by Green Bay off waivers after being released by Washington one day after the Commanders signed Stefon Diggs to a one-year, $12 million deal. Hilton signed with Washington as a UDFA with $15,000 in guarantees, which exceeded 6 of the Packers' 11 initial UDFA signings. He will make his Packers debut in Monday's practice.PositiveRoleAug 6, 2026
