GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – The Green Bay Packers cut 20 players on Saturday, including linebacker Spencer Havner, and placed two more on injured reserve to reach the 53-man roster limit.
Offensive lineman Allen Barbre and return man Will Blackmon went on injured reserve. Barbre was the opening-day starter at right tackle last year but hurt his back in camp, and Blackmon is coming off a torn ACL in his left knee.
Among the 20 players who were released were offensive lineman Breno Giacomini, whom the team was trying to trade; wide receiver Jason Chery, who was vying to take over the return duties from Blackmon; and Australian punter Chris Bryan, who was battling Tim Masthay for the job.
Also released were running back Kregg Lumpkin; offensive linemen Evan Dietrich-Smith and Chris Campbell; receivers Charles Dillon, Chastin West and Patrick Williams; defensive linemen Anthony Toribio, Jarius Wynn and Ronald Talley; linebackers Cyril Obiozor, Maurice Simpkins, Alex Joseph and Robert Francois; cornerback D.J. Clark, safety Anthony Levine and quarterback Graham Harrell.
