Packers claim rookie Brayden Narveson off waivers and make him their kicker
Associated PressGREEN BAY, Wis. — After having Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph compete for their placekicking job throughout training camp, the Green Bay Packers decided their best option was finding someone else. I’m really not.” Carlson went 27 of 33 on field-goal attempts — including just 7 of 13 from at least 40 yards — and 34 of 39 on extra points last season. He’s got a ton of talent.” The addition of Narveson means this will be the 20th consecutive year that a rookie undrafted free agent has made the Packers’ season-opening roster, though the fact he started out with Tennessee adds a wrinkle to the streak. This is the first time during that 20-year stretch that the Packers have opened a year without a rookie undrafted free agent they hadn’t signed directly out of college. Hale is part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway program.. Three players the Packers cut Tuesday were claimed by other organizations: WR Grant DuBose, S Anthony Johnson Jr. and G Royce Newman.
