Packers' Brayden Narveson: Tabbed as Green Bay's new kicker

The Packers claimed Narveson off waivers from the Titans on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Green Bay released Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph within the past two days, leaving Narveson in line to begin the season as the team's kicker, barring any other additions prior to the Sept. 6 opener versus the Eagles. Narveson went undrafted this spring after playing five collegiate seasons at three different schools and converting 78 percent of his career field-goal attempts. He then made six of seven field-goal tries for the Titans this preseason, with his only miss coming from 58 yards out and one of his makes being a 59-yarder. The team context and leg strength hint at potential fantasy value, though Narveson's lack of NFL experience suggests poor job security.
