The Packers are set to sign Luther following Tuesday’s workout session. Here’s a closer look at the situation:
In preparation for Week 2, the Packers have been actively evaluating potential additions, working out four players on Tuesday ahead of their crucial game against the Colts.

With extra roster space available due to star QB Jordan Love’s unexpected injury, GM Brian Gutekunst is exploring every option to enhance the team. The workout included three receivers—T.J. Luther, Racey McMath, and Seth Williams—and one defensive tackle, Jonathan Marshall. No official signings have been confirmed yet.
While it’s unlikely that these players will make a significant immediate impact, the Packers are clearly seeking reinforcements following a disappointing season opener against the Eagles.
Packers Evaluate Four Players Before Week 2

The players worked out include receivers T.J. Luther, Racey McMath, and Seth Williams, and nose tackle Jonathan Marshall. Luther, an undrafted free agent, has yet to see game action, while McMath, Williams, and Marshall were all sixth-round picks in the 2021 NFL Draft.
McMath, with the most experience, has played in 14 games over two seasons with the Titans before his release. His performance stats—four catches for 48 yards on 14 targets—are modest.
The extensive evaluation of these players indicates the Packers’ intention to make a move. With Willis stepping in as quarterback, the offense is expected to shift focus, possibly emphasizing blocking receivers to complement Willis’s ground game strengths rather than deep threats.
Whether Green Bay will sign any of these players remains uncertain, but fans should prepare for a potential move as the team aims to avoid an 0-2 start in a tough division.
