Overview
- Green Bay made a pair of waiver claims on Tuesday that brought in tight end Luke Lachey from Houston and defensive back M.J. Devonshire from Buffalo.
- Lachey was a 2025 seventh-round pick who was cut at final roster trims, then spent the entire 2025 season on the Texans’ practice squad without a regular-season snap.
- He joins a crowded Packers tight end group led by Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave with Josh Whyle, Drake Dabney, Messiah Swinson and rookie RJ Maryland also in the mix.
- Pre-draft scouting praised Lachey’s size and hands but flagged limited core strength, inconsistent run blocking and average quickness, projecting him as a TE3 or TE4 unless he develops.
- Houston’s move came as the Texans added running back Evan Hull, a roster shuffle that left Lachey looking for a new opportunity in Green Bay.
