On the day that veterans reported to Green Bay Packers training camp, the team made the decision to release quarterback Blake Bortles, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Shortly after the news about Bortles broke, The Atheltic’s Joe Buscaglia stated that Jake Dolegala, who had signed on as a tryout player in minicamp, was going to be waived by the team.
Bortles spent some time on the Denver Broncos’ practice squad last season but was poached late in the season to sign on the Los Angeles Rams’ 53-man roster when Jared Goff was injured.
