Trey Smack solidifies kicker role with Packers for 2026 season

Trey Smack is officially set to be the kicker for the Green Bay Packers this year. The Packers had hinted at this decision since trading up to draft Smack in the sixth round. Lucas Havrisik, who was thought to be a contender, struggled to secure the job following injury issues with Brandon McManus. The team has made several moves to support Smack's position, including signing and quickly releasing Lenny Krieg. The Packers are likely using practice squad exemptions to maintain depth while supporting Smack's role as the primary kicker heading into the season.
