GREEN BAY, Wis. – Alex Hale isn’t good enough to be the Green Bay Packers’ kicker to start this season. But he is good enough to develop to potentially be their kicker.
The Packers on Wednesday designated the native of Australia as their International Player Pathway player and released defensive end Kenneth Odumegwu, who had held that designation.
Once roster cuts are complete on Aug. 27, the Packers can sign Hale to the practice squad. They will be given a roster exemption, meaning he will not count on the 16-player limit.
Hale was signed following a tryout and made his training camp debut on Aug.
