GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have a new challenger at kicker and perhaps a new golf partner for longtime standout Mason Crosby.
According to ESPN.com’s Field Yates, the Packers claimed rookie kicker Gabe Brkic off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings on Monday and released kicker Dominik Eberle.
Eberle had experience with new Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia but didn’t even make it to training camp. Eberle kicked in front of reporters three times during the offseason practices. He missed at least once in each of those sessions. Kicking indoors on Wednesday, he hit the left upright from 51 yards and was short from 53 yards.
