Packers Add Sean Clifford as Emergency QB for NFC Wild-Card Game

Green Bay prepares for playoff matchup against the Eagles by bolstering quarterback depth after recent injuries to Jordan Love and Malik Willis.

The Green Bay Packers have elevated Sean Clifford from the practice squad to the 53-man roster to serve as an emergency quarterback in their NFC wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Starter Jordan Love and backup Malik Willis were both cleared to play after dealing with injuries earlier in the week, but the team opted for additional depth as a precautionary measure.
Clifford, a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has limited NFL experience, appearing in two regular-season games and one playoff game during his career.
The Packers are utilizing an NFL rule that allows a 49th player to dress as an emergency quarterback, who can only play if the first two quarterbacks are unavailable.
Green Bay, the No. 7 seed, faces the No. 2 seed Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday, aiming to replicate last year's wild-card success led by Jordan Love.
