  "account": "Green Bay Packers have bolstered their tight end position by signing veteran Jonnu Smith to a one-year contract ahead of the 2026 season. The move is set to provide additional depth to Green Bay's tight end corps, as two key players are recovering from injuries. Jonnu Smith, who has played for six different teams in 10 seasons, previously scored 30 touchdowns across nine years in the NFL. Last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Smith only managed 38 receptions for 222 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games. However, the previous season with the Miami Dolphins was a more successful one for Smith, as he caught 88 passes for 884 yards and eight touchdowns, earning him a Pro Bowl selection. Smith's signing comes after the Steelers released him in March. The Packers will be without starting tight end Tucker Kraft, who is set to return from ACL surgery, and veteran tight end Luke Musgrave, who is recovering from a neck injury sustained during training camp.",
