The Green Bay Packers Monday released punter B.J. Sander and linebacker Kevin Schimmelmann. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the moves.
Sander, a 6-foot-4, 218-pound veteran from Ohio State, was the Packers' third of three selections in the third round of the 2004 draft after winning the Ray Guy award as the nation's top collegiate punter. Last season, he averaged 39.2 gross yards on 64 punts, with 11 inside the 20 and two touchbacks.
Schimmelmann was signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Stanford in May.
