All three of the kickers in Packers training camp are now off the 53-man roster. A day after moving on from 2023 kicker Anders Carlson, the Packers released offseason pickup Greg Joseph.
The former Vikings kicker is off the Pack’s roster. This comes after Green Bay added a hopeful replacement, picking up Brayden Narveson, who had gone to camp with the Titans. Tennessee, which re-signed Nick Folk this offseason, waived Narveson on Tuesday.
Narveson spent five years as a college kicker, playing at three schools. The Iowa State recruit made his way to Western Kentucky and NC State. After kicking plenty of extra points during Bailey Zappe and Austin Reed‘s time with the Hilltoppers, Narveson made 78.3% of his field goal tries with the Wolfpack last season.
The Titans saw Narveson make 6-of-7 field goal tries during the preseason; the aspiring rookie drilled a 59-yarder as part of that effort. The team is sticking with Folk, which appears to have piqued the Packers’ interest.
As the Packers continue to search for a Mason Crosby replacement, they have cycled through a few options. Joseph, however, spent most of the offseason on Green Bay’s 90-man roster. He had been the Vikings’ kicker for the past three seasons. The South Africa native endured some struggles at points in Minnesota but kicked in every Vikings game from 2021-23. He made 80% of his FG attempts last year. As a vested veteran, the former Browns draftee will head straight to free agency.
