Packers have Tyrod Taylor to back up Jordan Love, and with Kyle McCord’s preseason emergence, Green Bay was able to turn Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Tyrod Taylor remains behind Jordan Love in Green Bay. McCord moves to Miami following the Dolphins’ trade of Quinn Ewers to the Jaguars.

Why it matters: Green Bay converted surplus quarterback depth into a future asset without changing its top two. Miami replenishes the position behind Malik Willis before the 2026 season.

By the numbers: McCord completed 46 of 70 passes for 446 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions during the preseason, posting a 102.4 passer rating.

What to watch: Final roster moves will determine McCord’s place in Miami’s quarterback order.
