Green Bay Packers aim to add second kicker for roster depth

Green Bay Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst has expressed the intention to add a second kicker to the roster, despite rookie sixth-round pick Trey Smack currently being the sole specialist. The team's original plan to hold a training camp competition was disrupted by injuries to Lucas Havrisik and long snapper positions, which forced the release of Lenny Krieg to accommodate roster needs.

Gutekunst stated that the team aims to bring in another kicker, whether during the remainder of training camp or via the practice squad as the season begins, to provide a necessary safety net.

In related preseason developments, head coach Matt LaFleur has announced that quarterback Jordan Love will start in the team's upcoming preseason game against the Denver Broncos. The announcement comes as the team looks to build momentum following a difficult end to their previous season.
