Mandatory Credit: Brad Rempel-Imagn Images The Green Bay Packers are signing quarterback Desmond Ridder to their practice squad, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.
With starter Jordan Love and backup Malik Willis both dealing with shoulder injuries, Clayton Tune is the only healthy signal-caller on the roster.
The Packers (9-6-1) are locked into the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC and could elevate Ridder to the 53-man roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against the host Minnesota Vikings (8-8), per the report.
Ridder, 26, was released from the Vikings' practice squad on Dec. 2 and has not appeared in an NFL game this season.
A third-round pick by Atlanta in 2022, Ridder is 8-10 as a starter with the Falcons (2022-23) and Las Vegas Raiders (2024). He has completed 63.6% of his passes for 4,002 yards with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, also rushing for 293 yards and five scores.
