BREAKING: Packers Add Undrafted Tight End to Practice Squad

The Green Bay Packers have brought in an undrafted tight end to their practice squad, indicating a need for additional depth or long-term development at the position. Tight end performance has been a point of concern for the team, which holds a 2-1 record in the 2024 season.While the Packers have had a solid start, this move emphasizes areas where they might seek more improvement or competition. The signing could provide the team with roster flexibility as the season moves forward.

The Packers’ decision to bring back Messiah Swinson makes sense given head coach Matt LaFleur’s offensive system, which frequently utilizes multiple tight end formations. Having more depth in this area helps ensure the team can effectively run its schemes, especially as young players like Musgrave and Kraft continue to develop.

They are relying on second-year players Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, who have displayed potential but lack experience, which could be a challenge in high-stakes situations. Swinson’s return provides additional support and a familiar option as the team works to strengthen its offense.

Swinson’s re-signing indicates that he made a favorable impression during summer workouts. The Packers are clearly looking to nurture this former standout from Missouri and Arizona State, even if it requires some time. With his impressive size and untapped potential, Swinson has the opportunity to offer valuable depth and potentially make contributions in the future.
