GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers signed running back Patrick Taylor from the practice squad on Thursday and made the addition of quarterback Blake Bortles official.
Bortles, who spent the offseason with the team but was released before the start of training camp, was signed to the practice squad. With Aaron Rodgers and Kurt Benkert on the COVID list, Jordan Love was the only other quarterback under contract.
“Blake’s got a great foundation with what we have implemented,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “He’s been in our building, he knows how to get us full operational, so he was by far the logical choice to bring back here.
