Well, that didn’t last long. On Monday, the Packers released quarterback Blake Bortles from the practice squad. In a related move, they’ve reinstated fellow QB Kurt Benkert from the taxi squad’s COVID-19 list. 
Bortles signed with the Packers on November 3, just after Aaron Rodgers‘ COVID-19 positive. Brought in to provide an extra layer of insurance behind Jordan Love, he’ll leave after just a handful of scrimmages.
Bortles, once groomed to be the future franchise face of the Jaguars, hasn’t seen live action since his three-game 2019 season. Last year, he spent some time with the Broncos, but didn’t make it into a game.
Bortles, 29, owns a 24-49 regular season record as a starter. At this point, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll ever get an opportunity to make another start. He may, however, find another practice squad opportunity elsewhere.
To date, his 2017 campaign stands as his best. That year, he was under center for the Jaguars’ run to the AFC title game and subsequent loss to the Patriots.
I’d rather start him than Jordan Love, but then again, I didn’t spend a first round pick on Jordan Love, so…
I dont get the hate for this guy. Yes im a Jags fan and i feel like he got a huge amount of blame for their fall but hes also the only Jags QB since 07 to have a winning season. The Jags have zero ability to develop players. They seriously could screw up Tom Brady. He was SIX minutes from a Super Bowl he deserves anther look.
I don’t think the “I was 6 minutes from a SB” T-shirt was a best seller.
Thanks for letting us use you for 7 days or whatever whatever how many days it’s been. Best of luck in your future endeavors to. What a bunch of crap
Has to be netter than Goff!
