Packers hold tryout for punters James Rendell and Jack Stonehouse

On October 22, 2026, the Green Bay Packers conducted a tryout for punters James Rendell and Jack Stonehouse. The team's decision comes amidst speculation about punter Daniel Whelan's status, although he was not on the injury report. Rendell, who averaged 44.6 yards per punt at Notre Dame, is the son of AFL player Matt Rendell. Stonehouse, previously with the Houston Texans, holds Syracuse's career net punting average record at 45.8 yards. The Packers currently lack a backup punter on their practice squad and could consider Rendell for this role if needed.
