GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Amari Rodgers' fumble against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, his fifth of the season, didn't just cost him the punt return job. It cost him his roster spot with the Green Bay Packers.
The team released Rodgers on Tuesday, one day after they were non-committal about his status as the returner.
Rodgers' fumble against the Cowboys came early in the third quarter of a 14-14 game. The Cowboys turned that into a touchdown and scored again on their next possession to build a 28-14 lead. The Packers came back to win 31-28 in overtime, snapping a five-game losing streak.
