Jace Sternberger

Sternberger is a bit undersized, but he makes up for that with technique. He adjusts well to the ball in the air to the ball on his back shoulder. Strong hands, doesn't rely on his body to haul it in. Nothing great about his routes. He has decent speed, but nothing more than should be expected from a smaller TE. Not a bad blocker, is definitely willing. He's very sure-handed. I think he's better against man coverage than understanding how to sit in a zone. Overall, he's a solid player and one who should be able to contribute right away.

Rookie tight end Jace Sternberger gets placed on IR by the Packers

Jace Sternberger has been placed on IR by Green Bay. He should be eligible to return by Week 8.

Fantasy Impact

Jimmy Graham's injury (finger) doesn't appear to be serious, and the Packers have three other tight ends signed to the team, excluding Sternberger. The rookie wasn't in a position to take many first-team reps to begin with.
