The Packers seem to be interested in adding a veteran pass catcher to their receiving corps.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Packers are bringing in wide receiver Keke Coutee for a workout this Tuesday.
Coutee wouldn’t just give the Packers another weapon at wide receiver, he could be an option in the return game. He returned 17 punts for the Colts last season.
Veteran WR Keke Coutee is working out for the #Packers today, per source. He’s also a punt return option — versatility that could help Green Bay after Randall Cobb’s departure.

Coutee was drafted by the Texans in 2018. After being waived in August of 2021, he was quickly signed by the Colts.
In 33 career games, Coutee has 85 receptions for 966 yards and four touchdowns. His best season came in 2020 with Deshaun Watson at quarterback.
The Packers’ depth chart at wide receiver currently features Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. There aren’t a ton of proven playmakers behind them.
If Coutee signs with the Packers, he’ll have a legit shot at cracking the 53-man roster.
