Aug 27 (Field Level Media) – The Green Bay Packers are signing former Pro ​Bowl tight end Jonnu ‌Smith to a one-year contract, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

Smith will provide depth at the position behind Tucker Kraft, who ‌had ​surgery last November to ⁠repair a torn ⁠right ACL. Kraft was activated off the physically unable to perform list on July 31.

Fellow tight ​end Luke Musgrave sustained a neck injury this offseason and hasn’t ⁠returned to practice.

Smith, ⁠31, had 38 catches ​for 222 yards and two touchdowns ​in 17 games (seven starts) last year ‌with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was acquired by the Steelers from the Miami Dolphins on June 30, ⁠2025 in the trade involving defensive backs Jalen Ramsey and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

In 141 ⁠career ‌games (91 starts) for the Tennessee ⁠Titans (2017-20), New England Patriots (2021-22), ​Atlanta ‌Falcons (2023), Dolphins (2024) and Steelers (2025), ​Smith has ⁠345 receptions for 3,529 yards and 30 TDs. He was selected by the Titans in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
