Bears release P Pakulak

By Sun-Times Wire

The Bears released veteran punter Glenn Pakulak on Sunday.

He struggled in Saturday’s practice and was outperformed by Zac Atterberry, the Lindenwood pickup.

If Atterberry does well he could be kept for training camp but with reduced rosters now (from 86 to 80) keeping specialty players is not going to be as common. Teams will use the depth for linemen.
