Packers Claim Rookie Kicker Brayden Narveson

The Green Bay Packers have claimed rookie kicker Brayden Narveson off waivers from the Tennessee Titans, releasing veteran Greg Joseph and cutting Anders Carlson, their 2023 sixth-round pick. Narveson impressed during the preseason with Tennessee, making 6 of 7 field-goal attempts, including a 59-yarder and a game-winning 46-yarder, but couldn't unseat veteran kicker Nick Folk. Packers coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged that bringing in a rookie kicker this close to the season is uncharted territory and could impact game strategy early on. Narveson's college career saw him making 78% of his field-goal attempts across three schools, most recently at NC State.
