Finishes with just two points Crosby did not attempt a field goal and made both extra points he got up in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers.
Impact It appeared Crosby would have several opportunities to put points on the board after the Packers marched down the field on their first three drives, but they turned the ball over near the goal line on the third and did not give Crosby another scoring chance after that. Crosby scored nine points in the Packers' Week 2 victory over the Bears, but he totaled just three points in the two other games his team has played to date.

Will be available Sunday Crosby (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact Crosby showed up on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness and remained away from the field Friday. Still, there's no worry about his availability for Week 3 action. The Packers' receiving corps may be depleted with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) already ruled out and Randall Cobb (illness) and Christian Watson (hamstring) questionable, so Crosby's prospects Sunday could be dimmed if one or both of the latter duo are unavailable to the offense.

Misses practice but likely to play Crosby (illness) was sidelined for a second consecutive practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Crosby missed Green Bay's last two practices, but Schneidman adds that special-teams coach Rich Bisaccia expects Crosby to play Sunday against the Buccaneers. If Crosby were to miss the game, Green Bay would likely promote kicker Ramiz Ahmed from the practice squad.

Fails to practice Thursday Crosby (illness) was listed as a non-participant on the Packers' practice report Thursday.
Impact Although Crosby failed to participate in Thursday's practice session, special teams coach Rich Bisaccia expects the 38-year-old to be ready to go for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

Makes all Week 2 kicks Crosby made two field goals and three extra points in Sunday's 27-10 victory over the Bears.
Impact After scoring just one point in the opener, Crosby surpassed that number with ease in Week 2, hitting a 40-yard field goal on the Packers' first drive and adding six more points after that. He could find points hard to come by again in Week 3, as the Packers will face a Tampa Bay team that has allowed opponents to attempt just one extra point and two field goals to date.

Impact Crosby has ramped up his rehab in recent days and appears on track to suit up for the preseason opener despite sitting out the majority of training camp following an offseason knee procedure. With Crosby sidelined, the Packers have brought in numerous competitors this offseason, but if healthy, the veteran still appears to be Green Bay's go-to place kicker despite his struggles in 2021.

Getting up kicks Crosby (knee) "has started kicking," according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
Impact The report did not provide any other details regarding Crosby's progress in his recovery from an offseason offseason knee procedure, but it does at least signal that things are moving in the right direction. It's not yet known if Crosby will be ready for Week 1, but he should at least have a shot to take the field. If he does not, Ramiz Ahmed is the front-runner to handle the duties instead.

Packers Sign New Kicker With Powerful Leg With Mason Crosby coming back from a knee injury and Gabe Brkic struggling, the Packers have a new kicker at training camp.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Coming off minor knee procedure Crosby said Wednesday that he underwent a minor scope procedure on his right knee two weeks ago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Crosby didn't participate in the Packers' opening practice of training camp after he was added to the active/PUP list last Friday. The 37-year-old said the scope was meant to address some lingering issues in his right kicking knee, and he added that he doesn't "expect it be to a long, nagging thing." Crosby has yet to miss a single game during his 15-year career, but rookie Gabe Brkic should continue to handle Green Bay's kicking duties during the veteran's absence in the early stages of camp.

Lands on PUP list The Packers placed Crosby (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact During Green Bay's mandatory minicamp in June, Crosby didn't attempt a kick, instead spending time with the rehab group on a stationary bike. Whatever impacted him then continues to bother him at the outset of training camp, leaving undrafted rookie Gabe Brkic as the team's only healthy kicker at the moment. Crosby is eligible to practice and play in preseason games, though, giving him plenty of time to reach 100 percent for a Week 1 matchup at Minnesota.

Not kicking during minicamp Crosby (undisclosed) appears to be in the rehab group during Wednesday's minicamp practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Demovsky noted that Crosby hasn't attempted a kick during the Packers' first two minicamp practices, but the team hasn't released any information about a potential injury. The veteran kicker struggled mightily last season, but he's still the favorite to retain the job in 2022. However, Green Bay signed Dominik Eberle this offseason to provide competition for Crosby.
