Mason Crosby was nearing the end and rapidly losing leg strength, so the Green Bay Packers drafted Anders Carlson. Carlson wasn’t consistent enough and missed too many big kicks down the stretch, so the Packers signed veteran Greg Joseph. Joseph didn’t do enough to win the job during training camp, so the Packers claimed Brayden Narveson off waivers after final cuts.
All these kickers but the problem remains the same. The Packers don’t have a reliable option.
And they got stung by the reality again Sunday.
Narveson missed a 37-yarder off the upright and a 49-yarder in the first half of the Packers’ 31-29 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
