Lenny Krieg - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs with Green Bay's practice squad The Packers signed Krieg to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact The Packers waived Krieg back in late July and cleared waivers. The German-born kicker came to the NFL through the International Player Pathway program but was not comparable to rookie kicker Trey Smack. Krieg will provide good depth behind the young kicker, waiting on the practice squad if Smack ever needs to miss time due to injury.

Let go by Green Bay Krieg was waived by the Packers on Thursday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact The kicker was cut to make room for long snapper Cal Adomitis, who signed with the Packers to fill the role while Matt Orzech (calf) remains sidelined. Krieg was supposed to compete with Trey Smack for the No. 1 kicker role in training camp, but, at least for the moment, Smack is now the only kicker left on the roster. Krieg might come back when Green Bay decides between Orzech and Adomitis for the snapper position.
