Underwood

Underwood was cut last September after battling a sprained knee and receiving a two game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. Underwood was primarily a special teamer in Green Bay, where new Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie worked in the front office.

Primarily a special teamer in Green Bay, Underwood made the trip West to Oakland along with GM Reggie McKenzie.

Underwood was sent to injured reserve with a groin injury, but will be free to sign with any club once he gets healthy. Underwood has appeared in 23 career games, but was out of the league in 2011. He’ll look for work as a special teamer.

Underwood was suspended two games for violating the league’s personal-conduct policy after a domestic violence incident with his wife. The Packers may be interested in bringing him back if they sustain more injuries in the secondary.

The 2009 sixth-round pick was among the Raiders’ final cuts. Underwood appeared in 23 games for the Packers between 2010-11, but hasn’t seen the field since. He’ll likely be among the Cowboys’ first cuts in 2013.

A 2008 first-team All-Big East selection at Cincinnati, Underwood has the versatility to play both corner and free safety. He’s very low on Green Bay’s depth chart at either position, however, and probably won’t make the team.

Underwood, the Pack’s sixth-round pick this season, will be the fifth cornerback. He’s still behind Jarrett Bush and Tramon Williams.

Underwood was already on the bubble after a July arrest for allegedly assaulting his former wife, so any missed reps in training camp are going to hurt. At this point, we’d be surprised if the former sixth-round pick made the team.

A former Packers beat writer, it’s unlikely Bedard has drawn that conclusion out of thin air. A role player, Underwood’s roster spot is indeed in grave danger after he both allegedly assaulted his wife and was convicted of “prostitution non-marital intercourse” this offseason.

Underwood has a pretrial hearing set for September 13, with the trial scheduled for September 26. Underwood is accused of ripping a necklace off his wife outside their Green Bay home.
