The Green Bay Packers released long snapper Cal Adomitis on August 30, 2026, as they confirm their choice to start Matt Orzech for the upcoming season. Orzech, who has been on the PUP list due to a calf injury, is anticipated to be healthy in time for Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. Adomitis, who joined the team early in training camp, played a role during preseason games but did not secure the position. The Packers aim for a smooth start to the season, relying on Orzech's experience as the team's long snapper since 2023.
