The Packers announced that three players have been placed on waivers.
In addition to undrafted rookie offensive tackle Theo Sherman, third-year tight end Spencer Havner and wide receiver Brett Swain have been released.
A seventh-round pick out of San Diego State by the Packers in 2008, Swain appeared in 22 games during his time in Green Bay, including one start in 16 games last season. Swain caught six passes for 72 yards during the regular season and tied for the team lead with six special teams tackles during four post-season games.
Swain was active for just one of the Packers’ three preseason games.
Havner, a college linebacker who was converted to an H-back in the NFL, caught seven passes for 112 yards and four touchdowns in 2009, but his role has primarily been on special teams. Havner had 18 special teams tackles in 2009 but only appeared in six games in an injury-plagued 2010 season.
Waived by the Packers last September, Havner was claimed by the Detroit Lions where he played in five games before waived with an injury settlement (hamstring). The Packers re-signed Havner in Week 10, but the hamstring injury landed him on injured reserve in Week 13.
