Safety Underwood to be cut
The Packers plan to release safety Marviel Underwood on Tuesday, coach Mike McCarthy said after practice tonight.
Underwood suffered a season-ending knee injury in training camp last year and never appeared to be back to full speed in training camp.
McCarthy cited the Packers' depth at the position and a desire to give Underwood a chance to land with another team as reasons for the timing of the release.
- Defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila left practice early because of a family situation in Milwaukee, McCarthy said. Gbaja-Biamila also is day-to-day because of a bruised knee.
- Defensive end Michael Montgomery suffered the worst of the four knee injuries sustained by Packers in Saturday's game. He will undergo arthroscopic surgery sometime in the next few days and almost certainly will miss a month or more.
Too bad for him. His career really seemed to be on the rise until the injury.
