Per PFF, McGough took one sack, had one big-time throw (52-yarder) and one turnover worthy play over seven dropbacks during the preseason.

McGough, a seventh-round pick of the Seahawks in 2018, was the USFL’s MVP during the 2023 season. At 27 years old, McGough is the oldest quarterback on the roster. He previously spent time with the Seahawks, Jaguars and Texans, including stints on the practice squad.

The Packers kept starter Jordan Love and rookie backup Sean Clifford on the 53-man roster.
