Packers Sign Veteran Long Snapper Cal Adomitis and Receiver Kaden Prather

A veteran snapper and an extra receiver address an immediate training-camp gap in Green Bay.

Overview

  • Coach Matt LaFleur said the team was working out long snappers after rostered snapper Matt Orzech began camp on the PUP list with a calf issue, creating a short-term need for the position.
  • The Packers hosted workouts for 10 players on Thursday that included three long snappers, three tight ends and four receivers as they evaluated depth at multiple positions.
  • Following those tryouts, Green Bay signed long snapper Cal Adomitis and receiver Kaden Prather, moves that required clearing roster space and were reported late Thursday and into Friday.
  • Center Sean Rhyan had served as the emergency long snapper in early practices, and adding Adomitis lets the kicking and punting units resume full work while Orzech recovers.
  • Adomitis brings four NFL seasons of snapping experience and college honors from Pitt, and the signings signal continuing camp churn as the Packers manage injuries at tight end and other positions ahead of the season.
