Packers' Gabe Brkic: Moves to IR
Brkic (hamstring) reverted to Green Bay's injured reserve list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Brkic tweaked his hamstring during pre-game warmups ahead of Friday's exhibition against the 49ers, and he was subsequently waived with an injury designation by the Packers on Sunday. The rookie kicker was initially brought in to help shoulder Green Bay's kicking duties as starter Mason Crosby has dealt with knee issues this offseason. Brkic is now set to miss the entirety of the 2022 regular season, barring any injury settlement.

Gabe Brkic: Waived with injury designation
The Packers waived Brkic (hamstring) with an injury designation Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Brkic reportedly tweaked his hamstring during Friday's pregame warmups but still opted to kick in the preseason opener. The Oklahoma product made all three of his extra-point tries, but he badly misfired on his first field-goal attempt as a professional. With Mason Crosby (knee) still on the PUP list following offseason surgery, the Packers' No. 2 spot remains up for grabs. In a corresponding move, Green Bay signed USFL kicker Ramiz Ahmed, who figures to operate as the primary place kicker during during Week 2 of the preseason.

Packers' Gabe Brkic: Dealing with hamstring injury
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday that Brkic tweaked his hamstring during Friday's pregame warmups, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Despite the tweak, Brkic still opted to kick Friday and made all three of his extra-point tries, but he badly misfired on his first field-goal attempt as a professional. With Mason Crosby (knee) still on the PUP list following offseason surgery, the Packers have had a revolving door at kicker during training camp. Green Bay most recently signed Ramiz Ahmed to operate as the emergency kicker in case Brkic's hamstring issue flares up again.

Packers' Gabe Brkic: Misses lone field-goal attempt
Brkic missed a 32-yard field-goal attempt and made all three of his point-after-touchdown tries in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers.
Brkic was true on his three extra-point tries, but he badly misfired on his first field goal attempt as a professional, and from not too far out. With Mason Crosby (knee) on the PUP list, Brkic is the only healthy kicker on the Packers' roster. However, Crosby will almost certainly handle the kicking duties for the Packers when he recovers, and Brkic is not a lock to fill in if Crosby remains out when the regular season gets underway.

Packers' Gabe Brkic: Picked up by Green Bay
Brkic was claimed off waivers by the Packers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
The undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma will shift from Minnesota, who waived him Friday, to Green Bay after the latter cut kicker Dominik Eberle in a corresponding move Monday. As a result, Brkic will have a chance to establish himself as a potential long-term solution at kicker for the Packers, though Mason Crosby remains entrenched as the No. 1 option in Green Bay. Brkic converted 57 of his 69 field goal attempts over four years with the Sooners, including a long of 56 yards during his 2021 senior campaign, and was one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award handed out to the best kicker in college football.

The Vikings waived Brkic on Friday.
Brkic signed with the Vikings in May as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma and was expected to provide competition to the veteran Greg Joseph. After Brkic's release, Joseph is the only kicker on Minnesota's roster, but it's possible the Vikings opt to bring in another competitor for training camp.
