GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers are releasing former third-round pick Jace Sternberger on Tuesday just as he completed his two-game NFL suspension for violating the league's policy and program on substances of abuse.
The tight end was the 75th overall pick in the 2019 draft but never found a consistent role in the Packers' offense due to injuries and others leapfrogging him on the depth chart.
In 18 career games, he has 12 catches for 114 yards and one touchdown. He played in only six games as a rookie in part due to a concussion he sustained in joint training camp practices with the Houston Texans.
