The Panthers released Butker on Wednesday, Bill Voth of the team's official site reports.

After fighting veteran Graham Gano throughout training camp for kicking duties, Butker ended up losing the job battle, but was surprisingly kept on the 53-man roster for the Week 1 win over the 49ers. However, Butker was deemed expendable once cornerback Ladarius Gunter, who was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday, became available on the open market.
