Kurt Benkert News
The Packers waived quarterback Kurt Benkert on Friday. The 26-year-old spent most of last season on the practice squad, appearing in only one game in 2021 as a COVID-19 replacement for Jordan Love. While Benkert wasn't expected to receive interest in any fantasy league, the transaction could mean Green Bay will roll with two active quarterbacks, Love and Aaron Rodgers, during some or all of the season.
Quarterback Kurt Benkert has been waived by the Green Bay Packers. Benkert was battling for the QB2 job behind Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love. Benkert played solid football at times but the Packers have decided to not keep three quarterbacks on the active roster. Reports already indicate that Benkert would be a candidate for the practice squad once he clears waivers.
Green Bay Packers third-string quarterback Kurt Benkert completed 18-of-25 passes for 151 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the team's preseason game against the Jets. With reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers on the sidelines and Jordan Love held out with a sore shoulder, Benkert played almost every drive. He was solid, if unspectacular, moving the chains at times but also guiding the offense to four three-and-outs. Not every team actively dresses three quarterbacks in the regular season but the progress of Love's shoulder in the coming weeks could decide whether Benkert starts the season with the team.
