GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (Ticker) -- The Green Bay Packers on Saturday released defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, the team's all-time sacks leader.
In nine seasons with the Packers, Gbaja-Biamila appeared in 124 career games, including 74 starts. In 2007, he passed Reggie White to move to the top of the team's sack list with 74 - six more than White.
Gbaja-Biamila has struggled this season, however, recording just half a sack in seven games for the 4-3 Packers, who play at undefeated Tennessee (7-0) on Sunday.
"We want to thank Kabeer for his contributions to the Green Bay Packers," Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said. "During his time here, he has been a big part of our organization and our community. We wish Kabeer and his family well."
In another move Saturday, the Packers activated defensive tackle Justin Harrell from the physically unable to perform list.
Green Bay's first-round pick in 2007, Harrell appeared in seven games - including two starts - as a rookie in 2007. He battled injuries during the offseason and was placed on the PUP list to start this season.
