Free agent wide receiver Devin Funchess agreed to a deal with the Green Bay Packers, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.
Funchess sustained a season-ending broken collarbone in Game 1 of last season for the Indianapolis Colts. He had three catches for 32 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers prior to the injury.
Funchess caught 21 touchdown passes over his previous four NFL seasons, when he was a member of the Carolina Panthers. He enjoyed his best season in 2017 when he established career bests of 63 catches, 840 yards and eight touchdowns.
Overall, Funchess has 164 receptions for 2,265 yards in 62 games (41 starts) over five NFL seasons.
Funchess, who turns 26 in May, was a second-round pick in 2015 by the Panthers out of Michigan.
