Green Bay will be without starting quarterback Jordan Love for a few weeks as he recovers from a knee injury, and here are five quarterbacks they could bring in to compete with backup Malik Willis.
Jordan Love's knee injury isn't anything season-ending, but his reported MCL sprain is still enough to sideline him for three to six weeks, so the Packers would do well to add a quarterback to compete with backup Malik Willis for the starting job in Love's absence. Green Bay also has Sean Clifford, last year's backup, on the practice squad, so it might be as simple as signing him to the 53 and rolling with those two. But Willis has only been with the Packers since Aug.
But he has experience working with Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who was the offensive coordinator in Tennessee in 2018 when Gabbert started three games, going 2-1. It's underwhelming, but he's more experienced than Willis and is available and inexpensive. Beathard was released by the Jaguars in their final cuts — he won his only start as an injury replacement for Jacksonville last season, but it was against Carolina, so he threw for 178 yards and avoided mistakes in a shutout win.
