The Green Bay Packers are dealing with a quarterback shuffle of their own, but the bigger hit came when Baltimore Ravens injuries opened the door for Kedon Slovis to leave Green Bay’s practice squad.
Slovis had been with the Packers as their third quarterback after the preseason, when Green Bay liked what it saw from him against its own defense. He had been cut from the Arizona Cardinals’ 53-man roster, and the Packers brought him in after the preseason ended.
Now he’s headed to Baltimore’s 53-man roster after the Ravens got hammered in Week Eight.
A new QB in Baltimore: The Ravens are signing Kedon Slovis to their 53-man roster off the Packers’ practice squad, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
The options for Thursday night against Jacksonville now include Joe Fagnano, Austin Reed and Slovis, who played in two games last season with Arizona.

The Ravens’ quarterback room got hit hard from the jump. On the first offensive play of the game this weekend, Lamar Jackson injured his thumb and will need surgery.
Tyler Huntley also went down with a toe injury and is expected to miss several weeks. Then Joe Fagnano suffered an ankle injury, leaving him unavailable for Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
With those injuries piling up, Slovis suddenly looks like a real candidate to start for Baltimore on Thursday night.
Green Bay, meanwhile, filled the opening on its practice squad by signing Cam Miller, who was previously with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Packers know better than most how valuable quarterback depth can be. Two years ago, Jordan Love missed two games in 2024 with a sprained MCL, and Malik Willis stepped in well enough to keep Green Bay afloat. With Willis now starting for the Miami Dolphins, the Packers brought in veteran Tyrod Taylor in 2026 to back up Love and provide another experienced voice in the quarterback room.

Packers Walk Into A Patriots Moment That Will Dominate This Week
The Week 9 trip to New England already had a little extra shine for the Packers, and now it has a broadcast wrinkle to match. Tom Brady is set to call a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium for the first time in his broadcasting career when Green Bay visits Foxborough, adding another layer of attention to a matchup that was already going to draw plenty of eyes.
Brady said he is excited to return to the stadium where so many of his biggest moments unfolded, while Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and others around the organization have been taking stock of the occasion. The conversation around the game has also drifted toward Rob Gronkowskis upcoming Hall of Fame induction, giving this week in Foxborough a distinctly Patriots flavor even before the teams take the field.

Packers Trade Buzz Just Raised The Stakes For This Defense
With the NFL trade deadline drawing near, Green Bay has started to look like a team that could be more than a bystander. The Packers have reason to explore help on defense, especially with Micah Parsons expected back from injury, and the idea of adding another proven edge presence has only sharpened the conversation around how aggressive they want to be.
One name that has surfaced in that discussion is Khalil Mack, a veteran pass rusher who would give Green Bay another disruptive piece if the Chargers decide to listen. Los Angeles has stumbled this season, which only adds to the intrigue around whether a player of Macks caliber could become available, and for the Packers the appeal is obvious: a chance to deepen a defense that could get a lot more dangerous if the right move is made.

Josh Jacobs Puts Packers On Edge As NFL Wait Continues
Josh Jacobs situation has taken another turn as the Packers wait for the NFLs next move. The running back is already back in the middle of a difficult legal and league process after missing six games on the commissioner-exempt list following his May arrest, and recently released police records have now added fresh allegations from three women involving physical and verbal abuse.
For Green Bay, the uncertainty is the real issue. Jacobs has said he believes in his legal defense and expects to stay on the field for the rest of the season, but the NFL investigation is still ongoing, leaving the team to monitor a case that could continue to hang over its backfield. If the league eventually acts, any suspension would likely be applied against the games he has already missed, which only adds another layer to a situation the Packers would rather not have lingering into the stretch run.
