McCord had a fairly quick rise in Green Bay, as he was battling for the third quarterback job as recently as the preseason opener.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">But now, the Packers will need to look elsewhere for a practice squad quarterback. On Sunday, Green Bay sent McCord to the Miami Dolphins, who released every quarterback on their roster other than Malik Willis, for a 2028 sixth-round pick. The Dolphins traded their backup quarterback, Quinn Ewers, to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday for a 2028 sixth-round pick. Miami\u2019s brass, who were signed from Green Bay this offseason, essentially swapped out Ewers for McCord.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Good luck to McCord (and Willis) with Packers South this season. It\u2019s pretty impressive that general manager Brian Gutekunst was able to flip a reserve-futures signing in January into a draft pick in August. With that being said, McCord was the only other quarterback on the 91-man offseason roster besides starter Jordan Love and backup Tyrod Taylor, so Green Bay will need to look at an outside addition for their practice squad quarterback in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You could argue that no one had a better preseason for the Green Bay Packers than quarterback Kyle&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[58924,154421,123,125,124],"class_list":["post-385405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-green-bay-packers-news","tag-green-bay-packers-roster","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
