It’s possible the Packers will fill the open spot with a specialist after working out a pair of kickers on Tuesday.

Baker was a seventh-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in the 2021 draft. He spent most of his rookie season on the Saints’ practice squad.

At South Alabama, Baker caught 126 passes for 1,829 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed 82 times for 376 yards and 11 touchdowns.

At receiver, Juwann Winfree and Travis Fulgham remain on the practice squad for the Packers.
