Green Bay Packers fans are all over social media begging for Mason Crosby’s return after rookie Anders Carlson struggled in his rookie debut in preseason Friday night.
The Packers chose not to re-sign Crosby after drafting Carlson in April. Carlson has had an up-and-down training camp, but general manager Brian Gutekunst said the team wasn’t worried, as they knew Carlson would struggle early on in the NFL.
