ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins signed punter Glenn Pakulak to their 53-man roster for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Pakulak was promoted from the practice squad Saturday and will handle the punting and holding duties in place of Hunter Smith on Sunday. Smith pulled a groin muscle during last week's victory over the Detroit Lions.

The Redskins released veteran defensive end Renaldo Wynn to make room for Pakulak. Wynn had been inactive for all four games this season.
