In a surprising move, the Green Bay Packers tried out two punters, Jack Stonehouse and James Rendell. They seem completely set at the position, thanks to Daniel Whelan, so why now?
The Green Bay Packers conducted unexpected tryouts for punters Jack Stonehouse and James Rendell, prompting speculation about starter Daniel Whelan. Despite the workouts, Whelan was not listed on the team's Week 7 injury report and continues to perform as one of the NFL's premier punters this season.
Anthony Nash of Lombardi Ave notes that the workouts likely represent routine due diligence rather than an imminent roster change. Neither Stonehouse nor Rendell was signed following the auditions, and the Packers currently carry no backup punter on their active roster or practice squad.
