Packers add long snapper Cal Adomitis as training-camp roster churn continues

The Green Bay Packers are expected to sign long snapper Cal Adomitis, according to reporting from Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber as cited by Yahoo Sports on July 30, 2026. Adomitis brings prior starting experience in the NFL, having been a long snapper for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Philadelphia Eagles. For Green Bay, the transaction indicates a continued push to stabilize the most specialized part of the special-teams unit as practices ramp up.

Special teams long snapping is a low-visibility role until it becomes a high-stakes problem, and NFL teams typically value continuity because the timing with the holder and punter, as well as with the rush and return units, must be consistent. Packers fans will look for how quickly Adomitis can line up with the club’s return teams and whether his presence changes the way Green Bay structures its early down-and-distance and kick-type reps.

The timing of the move also matters because the Packers’ roster was described as full on Thursday, creating the need for what the report calls “corresponding” moves. In other words, Green Bay would need additional roster adjustments to make room for Adomitis on the active roster while camp is already underway, a scenario that often leads to quick turnarounds involving fringe players or specific practice-squad eligibility.

Alongside the Adomitis reporting, Yahoo Sports also notes that Huber confirmed a separate signing involving receiver Kaden Prather on Thursday. That additional move, as described in the same report, suggests the Packers’ early-camp roster work is not isolated to special teams. It also raises the likelihood that Green Bay’s corresponding transactions will touch multiple positions tied to the first wave of practice rotations.

For Adomitis specifically, the appeal is his history of handling starting responsibilities, not just emergency depth. Having previously been trusted in regular-season snaps for two different franchises, he comes in with experience playing the position under game conditions rather than limited collegiate or scout-team exposure. The next step will be how the Packers deploy him in team periods, especially on punts and field-goal situations where clean, repeatable releases are critical.

There is, however, a caveat typical of July roster reporting: details of NFL signings and corresponding moves can change quickly, and teams do not always make every transaction visible in the same way on the same day. Until Green Bay and the NFL’s transaction systems reflect the final paperwork, fans should treat the move as “expected” and watch for confirmation through official team channels.
