Packers evaluate Tyrod Taylor and Kyle McCord for QB2 role

The Green Bay Packers face an important decision regarding their backup quarterback position as they prepare for the final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on August 28, 2026. Tyrod Taylor, a 37-year-old veteran, has struggled in preseason, completing 8 of 16 passes for 38 yards and 1 touchdown. In contrast, rookie Kyle McCord has shown potential, completing 24 of 35 passes for 220 yards, but lacks regular-season experience. Both quarterbacks present unique concerns as the team prepares for the regular season if starter Jordan Love is unavailable.
