Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Kurt Benkert worked out for the Chicago Bears, according to Tom Grossi of Packast.
The connection between player and team is an easy one: former Packers offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy is now in the same role with the Bears.
Benkert spent 13 months with the Packers from May 2021 to June of 2022. He spent the entire 2021 season as the No. 3 quarterback on the practice squad behind Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love. As a COVID-19 replacement for Love in December, Benkert made his NFL debut by kneeling twice to finish off a Packers win over the Bears.
