The Green Bay Packers have activated quarterback Kurt Benkert and have released quarterback Blake Bortles. Benkert has been activated from the practice squad/COVID-19 reserve list, the team announced on Monday.
Bortles had a short stay on the team as he was only with the squad for about two weeks after Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19.
The Packers are tied for the best record in all of the NFL sitting at 8-2 on the season. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been sensational this season throwing for over 2,100 yards, including 17 touchdowns, and only four interceptions.
