Packers Wire • • sports
Key Points:
- The Green Bay Packers signed kicker Lenny Krieg and long snapper Scott Daly to their practice squad, adding depth to their specialist positions.
- Krieg, a German native and former practice squad player for the Falcons and Jets, will serve as a backup to rookie kicker Trey Smack.
- Daly, an experienced long snapper with 76 NFL games played mostly in the NFC North, provides insurance behind injured starter Matt Orzech.
- With Krieg designated as an International Player Pathway exemption, the Packers can carry 17 players on the practice squad and have one spot remaining.
- The Packers currently have practice squad players at all major positions except punter, and may fill the last spot with a defensive back due to roster needs.
