Gutekunst Explains Bisaccia Departure as Packers Begin Special Teams Search

Green Bay GM Brian Gutekunst said Rich Bisaccia left for other opportunities rather than retirement, giving the Packers time to thoroughly evaluate candidates as Matt LaFleur searches for a new special teams coordinator. The team has struggled to finish in the top half of the league in special teams and is weighing roster implications (including potential returner and kicker roles) while LaFleur interviews candidates such as Tom McMahon, Cameron Achord, Kyle Wilber, Devin Fitzsimmons, Matthew Smiley, and Sam Sewell. The decision comes amid the NFL coaching carousel, with the Packers aiming to stabilize a unit that finished 23rd in kickoff return and last in punt return, and with Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik in play for the kicker spot.

"Packers' Rookie Kicker Carlson Impresses at Lambeau Field's Family Night Practice"

Tariq Carpenter, a seventh-round pick for the Green Bay Packers, praised special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia for helping him transition from safety to inside linebacker. Carpenter acknowledged the challenges of learning a new position but had a standout performance during Family Night practice, intercepting two passes. While he may not see much playing time on defense due to established players at the position, Carpenter's size and skill set make him an intriguing prospect for special teams coverage units. Rookie kicker Anders Carlson also impressed, hitting 8-of-9 field goals during practice.
