Packers trade deadline recap: 0 deals, 1 practice squad signing

The Green Bay Packers did not make a deal at the NFL's trade deadline, but Tuesday didn't come and go without a roster move. The team announced the signing of tight end Kenny Fletcher Jr. to the practice squad.

Not the splash move you were looking for?

Six different trades were reported on Tuesday, the final day teams could make trades during the 2026 season. But the Packers didn't get into the action despite a few roster flaws, particularly along the offensive line and at running back.

Instead of acquiring a player via trade, the Packers signed a rookie tight end.

Fletcher (6-3, 250) is an undrafted rookie out of Rutgers. He spent training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before signing with the practice squad of the Indianapolis Colts during the first month of the season.

Fletcher played 32 snaps for the Buccaneers during the preseason. He ran 10 routes but didn't catch his only target, and 20 of his snaps came as a run blocker. At Rutgers, he caught 46 passes over 41 games after moving from defensive end to tight end in 2024.

Fletcher joins Drake Dabney, who was elevated to the gameday roster last week, as the two tight ends on the practice squad. The Packers have Tucker Kraft, Mark Redman, Jonnu Smith and Josh Whyle on the 53-man roster at tight end. Luke Musgrave (neck injury) remains on the PUP list.
