With only two QBs typically kept on the roster, McCord’s elite play puts the Packers in a tough spot: stash him on the practice squad? He’d likely be claimed by another team. The decision could reveal just how much faith the Packers have in McCord—or if they’re still clinging to Taylor despite the evidence.
