Tennessee Titans

[edit]

Narveson went undrafted in the 2024 NFL draft and was signed by the Tennessee Titans on May 10, 2024.[5] In his first 3 preseason games, Narveson made 7 of 8 field goal attempts (87.5%), the only miss being short from 58, which was nearly returned for a kick return touchdown by Samson Nacua.[6] Narveson also made three field goals in the fourth quarter against the Seattle Seahawks, 21 yards, 59 yards, and a game winning 46-yard field goal in the preseason.[7] He was released after losing the kicking job to Nick Folk on August 27, 2024.[8]

Green Bay Packers

[edit]

Narveson was claimed off waivers by the Green Bay Packers on August 28, 2024.[9] Narveson was named the starting kicker after Greg Joseph was released a few hours after Narveson was signed.[10] In his NFL debut, he made both extra points and three of four field goal attempts (31, 23, 26) but missed from 43 off of the right upright in the 34–29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1.[11] In Week 4, against the Minnesota Vikings, Narveson missed both field goal attempts (37, 49) which resulted in their 31–29 loss.[12] The next week, he rebounded by making all of his extra point attempts as well as his only field goal attempt as the Packers beat the Los Angeles Rams 24-19.[13] In Week 6, his last game with the Packers, Narveson converted 2 of 3 field goal attempts and all four extra point attempts.

On October 16, 2024, after missing 5 of his 17 field goal attempts, the Packers released Narveson in favor of Brandon McManus.[14][15]
