The Green Bay Packers moved to bolster their quarterback depth on Monday by signing free agent Cam Miller to the practice squad, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
The addition comes after Miller worked out for the team earlier in the season, giving Green Bay a familiar option as it continues to manage its developmental pipeline behind established starters Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor.
Miller, 24, entered the league as a sixth-round selection by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2025 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State.
He inked a four-year rookie contract worth roughly $4.4 million but was waived following his first preseason.
After clearing waivers, he returned to the Raiders’ practice squad and spent the bulk of his rookie year there before the Miami Dolphins signed him away late in the season. Miami released him during this year’s preseason, leaving him available when Green Bay circled back.
The Packers already carried Kedon Slovis on the practice squad, so Miller’s arrival creates an interesting competition at the position.
With two openings on the unit entering the week, no corresponding roster move was required. Miller has yet to appear in a regular-season game, making this another opportunity to develop within an NFL organization while remaining available for elevation if injuries strike.
His college résumé at North Dakota State offers a clearer picture of his production.
Over 67 games with the Bison, Miller completed 69 percent of his passes for 9,721 yards, 81 touchdowns and 19 interceptions. He also contributed heavily as a runner, carrying the ball 526 times for 2,277 yards and 48 scores.
That dual-threat background fits the modern preference for mobile quarterbacks who can extend plays and threaten defenses outside the pocket.
There is an additional Packers connection. Miller’s first season as a starter in Fargo came in 2021, the same year Christian Watson finished his career at North Dakota State before Green Bay drafted him. Packers receivers coach Noah Pauley was also on the Bison staff that season.
Those overlapping ties may have helped keep Miller on the team’s radar after the September workout.
For Green Bay, the move is low-risk and practical. Practice-squad signings allow teams to retain young talent without committing active-roster spots, and Miller’s prior exposure to the Packers’ facility reduces the learning curve.
Whether he ultimately challenges Slovis for the primary developmental role or simply provides insurance remains to be seen, but the Packers now hold two young quarterbacks on the practice squad heading into the later portion of the season.
The transaction underscores the ongoing effort across the league to stockpile athletic passers who can be elevated quickly when needed.
