Carpenter, 24, was drafted in the seventh round by the Packers out of Georgia Tech with the No. 228 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

He was in the second year of a four-year rookie deal worth $3.8 million when the Packers waived him as part of their initial 53-man roster. He then joined the Steelers practice squad ahead of the 2023 season.

In 2022, Carpenter appeared in 14 games for the Packers and recorded eight total tackles.
