The Redskins signed an insurance policy in case Hunter Smith’s pulled groin prevents him from punting at Carolina on Sunday. They signed punter Glenn Pakulak to their practice squad.
Washington cut receiver Trent Shelton, though he could return when Smith is healthy.
Pakulak punted eight games for New Orleans in 2008, with 24 punts for a 47.7-yard average and 37.8-yard net average. The 29-year-old Pakulak has had tryouts with nine other teams in his NFL career.
