Overview
- The Packers signed Kaden Prather to a one-year contract after a tryout, a move first reported July 30 that followed a workout session with nine other players.
- Green Bay's roster is currently full and the team placed receiver Brenden Rice on the non-football injury list for a hamstring issue, so a corresponding roster transaction is required to make Prather official.
- Prather was a 2025 seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills who was waived with an injury settlement after a hamstring injury and then played for the UFL champion Louisville Kings, catching nine passes for 148 yards.
- Scouts describe Prather as a 6-foot-3, long-bodied outside receiver with size and straight-line speed but limited short-area explosiveness, and he will likely need to contribute on special teams to earn a spot.
- Prather will compete through training camp and the preseason for depth and special-teams snaps, and his signing underscores how players use UFL play and midcamp tryouts to reopen NFL chances.
