Packers Sign Three Wide Receivers Amid Injury Concerns

The Green Bay Packers have recently signed wide receivers Kaden Prather, Kisean Johnson, and Chris Hilton Jr. to bolster their roster due to injuries affecting their receiving corps during training camp.

General manager Brian Gutekunst has been actively seeking reinforcements as players like Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed are sidelined with injuries. The team also waived Brenden Rice, further depleting their options ahead of the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Prather, who has NFL experience, was a seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills last year. Johnson, a first-year player, has previous ties to the Packers from his time on their practice squad. Hilton, an undrafted rookie from LSU, was claimed off waivers from the Washington Commanders. With key players likely out for the upcoming game, this preseason opener will serve as an opportunity for younger players to showcase their abilities and potentially secure a spot on the roster.
