Lower than 24 hours after quarterback Danny Etling was main the Inexperienced Bay Packers’ second-team offense on Household Evening, the Packers introduced the discharge of the quarterback on Sunday. Etling obtained nearly all the crew’s second-team snaps up so far of the offseason, however had rookie fifth-round decide Sean Clifford respiration down his neck.

Etling has been with Inexperienced Bay since January of 2022, spending all of final season on the crew’s follow squad because the third-string quarterback. The 29-year-old quarterback had additionally made stops with seven different NFL franchises throughout his skilled profession, together with a conversion to the receiver place, at one level.

With Etling out of the image, the belief is that Clifford, who had a stable night time of follow on Household Evening, will bounce as much as the second-team offense and Alex McGough, who was not too long ago signed from the USFL ranks, will develop into the third-string quarterback.

Splitting the backup reps behind starter Jordan Love — who’s taking loads of snaps going into his first yr as a starter — from three gamers to 2 gamers appears to make sense, because the crew is ramping up for the common season.

Tomorrow’s follow would be the Packers’ final follow in Inexperienced Bay earlier than they take off to Cincinnati for joint practices with the Bengals, forward of their preseason matchup. The following week, the New England Patriots will come to city for joint practices and a preseason recreation.

In the intervening time, there have been no corresponding roster strikes made, that means that the Packers have an open roster spot. With just one cutdown date (August twenty ninth) for groups to get down from 90-man rosters to 53-man rosters, it’s anticipated that Inexperienced Bay will use that vacant roster spot within the close to future. The Packers’ roster presently sits at 90 gamers, however the crew has a roster exemption for worldwide participant pathways participant Kenneth Odumegwu, which permits them to go as much as 91.
