The Titans are expected to elevate Narveson from the practice Saturday to serve as an emergency option in case Nick Folk (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Folk managed just one limited practice (Friday) this week and is listed as questionable due to an abdominal injury. Coach Brian Callahan told Turron Davenport of ESPN.com earlier Friday that Folk will be a game-time call, so the Titans' kicker for Week 16 likely will become known about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Narveson was signed to the practice squad Tuesday, which marked his first opportunity since handling kicking duties for the first six games of the season for the Packers. Overall, he was perfect on PATs (16-for-16) but erratic with field goals, connecting on only 12 of 17 attempts.

Brayden Narveson: Joins Tennessee's practice squad
Rotowire
The Titans signed Narveson to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Narveson, who missed five of his 17 field-goal tries with Green Bay from Week 1 to Week 6, now gets a chance to continue his development in Tennessee. Garafolo notes that Nick Folk (undisclosed) is dealing with an injury, making Narveson a key insurance policy for the Titans as Sunday's game against the Bengals approaches.
Narveson made two of three field-goal tries and all four extra points he attempted in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.
Narveson converted six of his seven scoring opportunities on a wet and dreary day at Lambeau Field, which isn't too shabby for most kickers. However, he finished less than perfect for the fourth time in six appearances with the Packers and is now just 12-for-17 on field-goal attempts -- and he has not even attempted a kick from further than 49 yards. Green Bay has given no indication it's considering a change at the kicker position, but Narveson's hold on the spot remains tenuous.

Packers' Brayden Narveson: Misses two more kicks
Rotowire
Narveson missed two field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.
Narveson was errant from both 37 and 49 yards out, and those misfires proved costly in a game that was decided by only two points. He has made all nine of his extra-point tries this season, but he is now just nine of 13 when trying to put three points on the board -- and he had another miss wiped out by a penalty. Head coach Matt LaFleur, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, said following Sunday's game that he has "a lot of confidence" in Narveson, but the door is open for a kicking change in Green Bay.

Packers' Brayden Narveson: Another productive appearance
Rotowire
Narveson made all three field goals and all three extra points he attempted in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.
Narveson faced his former team less than a month after being waived by Tennessee, and the rookie wound up with both a season- and career-high 12 points. He did miss a kick in the 40-49 yard range for the third time in three weeks, but it was wiped out by a penalty, which resulted in his first perfect day as a professional. The misfires could still catch up to him at some point, but he has not missed from inside 40 yards nor on an extra-point attempt, and only one kicker league-wide has put more points on the board with two games to go in Week 3.

Packers' Brayden Narveson: Reaches double digits again
Rotowire
Narveson made three of four field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.
Narveson put 11 points on the board in his Week 1 professional debut, and he reached double digits again in Week 2. He missed a field-goal attempt for the second time in as many games, but he also was true on kicks from both 46 and 42 yards out. Narveson will not be afforded the opportunity to miss kicks for long, but he is 6-of-8 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points through two weeks, which suffices for those who have included him in their fantasy lineups.

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.
