Alex McGough: Headed to Green Bay
The Packers signed McGough to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.
McGough spent the entire 2023 regular season on the Packers' practice squad. He suffered multiple lower body injuries during the offseason, and after reverting to Green Bay's injured reserve in July, the two sides were able to reach an injury settlement that allowed McGough to explore his options once healthy. The 2018 seventh-round pick worked out with the Giants on Tuesday, but the former college quarterback will return to the Packers and continue to develop his skills as a wide receiver.

Alex McGough: Working out with Giants
The Giants worked out McGough (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.
McGough was waived by Green Bay back in July with an undisclosed injury, but he's now evidently back in shape for football activities. The Giants are in quarterback disarray after the recent benching of Daniel Jones, and new starter Tommy DeVito may not exactly promise iron-clad stability as the second half of the season plays out.

McGough reverted to Green Bay's injured reserve last week after suffering an undisclosed injury, but he will now have an opportunity to find a new team. The former quarterback made the transition to wide receiver this offseason and he'll have to clear a physical prior to signing with a new team.

Packers' Alex McGough: Reverts to IR
McGough (undisclosed) has reverted to the Packers' injured reserve, per the NFL's transaction log.
McGough was waived with an injury designation Friday as a result of an undisclosed injury, and he'll now be forced to miss the entirety of the 2024 season, barring an injury settlement. The 28-year-old made the switch from quarterback to wide receiver this offseason, and even when he's healthy, McGough appeared like a long shot to crack Green Bay's active roster.

Packers' Alex McGough: Moves to PUP list
The Packers placed McGough on the active/PUP list Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
McGough can be activated at any time throughout training camp and the preseason, once healthy. The 28-year-old spent the entire 2023 season on Green Bay's practice squad as a quarterback, but head coach Matt LaFleur announced in May that McGough had made a position change to receiver. McGough has yet to take a regular-season snap in the NFL since entering the professional ranks in 2018.

Alex McGough: Joins Packers practice squad
McGough landed on the Packers' practice squad Wednesday.
McGough was competing with Sean Clifford for the backup role under center in Green Bay during training camp, but in reality he was a distant third most of the way. The Packers opted to go the traditional route with two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, which resulted in McGough getting waived and subsequently landing on the practice squad. He will now continue to compete at practice and await an opportunity on the active roster should depth at the position ever be needed.

Alex McGough: Let go by Green Bay
The Packers waived McGough on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
McGough got his first preseason action on Saturday against the Seahawks. He completed four of five passes for 69 yards including a 52-yard pass on the game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. He was a longshot to win the backup spot against 2023 fifth-round pick Sean Clifford, but McGough could return to the Packers' practice squad once he clears waivers.

Packers' Alex McGough: Sharp in final exhibition
McGough completed four of five passes for 69 yards and had two carries for four yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
McGough got a chance to throw for the first time since the exhibition season began, and he looked good doing so, misfiring just once and completing a 52-yard strike on a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. He almost certainly will not earn a spot on the active roster, but he could snag a spot on Green Bay's practice squad.
