According to the Green Bay Packers injury report on Thursday, Nov. 12, a major injury was avoided for kicker Trey Smack.

Smack was one of many players to appear on the initial report that was released on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Since it was only a job-through, all of the injuries listed were only estimations.

Thankfully, Smack's right calf injury that made him a limited participant wasn't serious.

Roughly 24 hours later, Smack was officially upgraded to a full participant.

After a rough outing against the Detroit Lions, Smack was a perfect 7-7 on Sunday, Nov. 8, against the New England Patriots.

Seeing as that was a road game, it was a huge confidence booster for the rookie kicker.

In the same week that return specialist Skyy Moore is beginning to practice again, Smack nearly went down with an injury.

For a kicker, the last thing anyone in this organization wants is to see him dealing with a calf injury on his kicking leg.

Smack was drafted No. 216 overall in the 2026 draft, though many began to question that decision as he began to struggle in the middle of the season.

Despite starting a perfect 5-5 with his field goals, Smack missed one of his first two extra points.

Smack would then go 0-1 against the Atlanta Falcons, and later went 1-3 against both the Chicago Bears and Lions.

Thankfully, it didn't matter in the Bears game as GB dominated that one, 31-7. In the Lions game, it was a different story.

Smack left six points on the table in a controversial game that was decided by only three points. He followed it up by making three of his four extra points against the Carolina Panthers, but he didn't attempt a single field goal in that one.

As part of the team's blowout victory against the Patriots, he drilled all three of his field goals, including one from 51 yards.

Smack's long on the year is 59 yards, and he's also hit one from 58.

Interestingly, he's just 4-7 at Lambeau Field. Seeing as the Packers play at home on Sunday, Nov. 15, against the Minnesota Vikings, they'll need him to put his best foot forward, pun intended.

Back in his NFL debut, Smack made all three of his field goals which averaged 43 yards in distance. He accounted for 10 of the Packers' 22 points in that game, though he could've had 11 had he not missed an extra point.
