The Green Bay Packers are finalizing the addition of quarterback Kedon Slovis to their practice squad, signaling their plan for QB3 behind Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor. General Manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed the move Tuesday, a day after the league’s roster cutdown deadline. Slovis, who previously played for the Arizona Cardinals, was out-dueled by the Packers' own Kyle McCord in the preseason finale. Despite throwing two interceptions in that contest, Slovis showcased potential, finishing the preseason third in passing yards among all NFL quarterbacks with 434. His journey to Green Bay has been circuitous, including stints with the Colts, Texans, and Cardinals, and he saw limited action with Arizona in 2025. College saw him bounce between USC, Pittsburgh, and BYU, but his athleticism, highlighted by strong Combine testing, makes him an intriguing developmental prospect and a valuable scout-team quarterback. The Packers also confirmed that rumors connecting them to linebacker Josh Sweat were unfounded, with Gutekunst stating no talks with the Cardinals ever took place. This clarification addresses offseason speculation that linked the two teams. The practice squad is beginning to take shape, with several players reportedly agreeing to terms. Among those expected to join are RB Pierre Strong Jr., WRs Isaiah Neyor and Chris Hilton Jr., TEs Drake Dabney, OLs Dalton Cooper, Dillon Wade, and Josh Gesky, DL Jaden Crumedy, EDGE rushers Nyjalik Kelly and Arron Mosby, LB Kristian Welch, CB Domani Jackson, and S Murvin Kenion III. With Slovis' planned signing, the Packers have three practice squad spots remaining, one earmarked for an international player. While several players were released on Sunday, the Packers reportedly expressed interest in bringing back OL Dylan Barrett, RB Jaden Nixon, and S Mark Perry, should they clear waivers. However, updates indicate Nixon and Perry are no longer targets. The expanded practice squad rules, now allowing 16 players plus an international exemption, emphasize the unit's growing importance as a functional depth chart.
