The Green Bay Packers currently maintain only two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster following the league-wide cutdown deadline on August 30, 2026. This decision leaves the team without a third option at the position or a designated scout team arm. Potential candidates available across the league include numerous players waived by other organizations, such as Kedon Slovis, Austin Reed, Shane Buechele, and Miller Moss. The team previously held Kyron Drones on its roster but waived him earlier in the offseason. Green Bay management now faces the task of identifying a practice squad addition to support starters Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor. The roster flexibility follows a series of personnel changes during the team's transition from an initial 91-man training camp group.
