Packers' Brayden Narveson: Drops double digits in debut
Rotowire
Narveson made three of four field-goal tries and both extra points he attempted in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.
Narveson misfired on a 43-yard attempt late in the third quarter that would have brought the Packers within two points, but he was true on his three field-goal attempts from 31 yards and in. He does not have a firm grasp on his job after joining Green Bay less than two weeks ago, but he likely did enough in the opener to hold onto the spot for the time being.

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

Brayden Narveson: Let go by Tennessee
Rotowire
The Titans waived Narveson on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Narveson joined the Titans in May as an undrafted free agent to compete against Nick Folk for the starting kicking job. Narveson had a solid preseason, finishing 6-for-7 on field-goal attempts with his longest make of 59 yards taking place against the Seahawks on Aug. 17. He also converted both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's preseason finale against New Orleans. Tennessee opted to stick with the veteran Folk, though Narveson should get plenty of interest from teams whose kicking situation is more shaky.
