The Green Bay Packers announced on Monday that they have released quarterback Danny Etling from the practice squad. Etling was signed to the practice squad the previous Tuesday following Jordan Love’s placement on the reserve/Covid-19 list and the promotion of Kurt Benkert to the 53-man roster.
The assumption is that when Love can return as the team’s backup quarterback, Benkert will return to the practice squad. Benkert, who has been in the league since 2018, saw his first game action on Sunday when he kneeled out the Packers’ win against the Chicago Bears, upon the suggestion of starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
