In addition to making official the team’s change at kicker, the Green Bay Packers announced the signing of first-year wide receiver Malik Knowles to the practice squad on Wednesday.
The Packers had an open spot on the practice squad after losing offensive lineman Lecitus Smith to the New England Patriots.
Knowles went undrafted out of Kansas State in 2023. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings but spent the entire season on injured reserve. The Vikings waived him on Aug. 27 of this year. He caught a 1-yard touchdown pass and returned two kickoffs for 43 yards during the preseason.
