The Green Bay Packers lost quarterback Kedon Slovis on Tuesday when the Baltimore Ravens signed him to their 53-man roster off Green Bay’s practice squad, according to reports from Tom Pelissero of The Ringer.
The move comes as Baltimore faces a sudden quarterback crisis heading into Thursday night’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Slovis, 25, had been the Packers’ No. 3 quarterback since signing to the practice squad on September 1.
Green Bay added him after trading Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins, giving the team a developmental option behind starter Jordan Love and veteran backup Tyrod Taylor.
In limited NFL action with the Arizona Cardinals in 2025, Slovis appeared in two games and completed 1 of 2 passes for minus-2 yards. He went undrafted out of BYU in 2024 after earlier college stops at USC and Pittsburgh.
From Green Bay’s perspective, the departure is more inconvenience than crisis.
The Packers already moved to fill the practice-squad spot by signing Cam Miller, a 2025 sixth-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders who had previously been with the Dolphins.
Love and Taylor remain the primary options on the active roster, and the Packers do not face the Ravens in 2026.
Matt LaFleur had previously described Slovis as a “natural thrower” after his preseason work, but the team’s quarterback hierarchy was never built around him.
The Ravens’ situation is far more urgent. Lamar Jackson is dealing with a thumb injury that is expected to require surgery and could sideline him for an extended period.
Backup Tyler Huntley has a turf-toe issue, and third-stringer Joe Fagnano is managing an ankle injury. Slovis joins Fagnano and recently added Austin Reed as the available options.
Ravens quarterbacks coach Israel Woolfork worked with Slovis in Arizona last season, which appears to have factored into the decision. Because Baltimore is signing him directly from another team’s practice squad, Slovis must stay on the 53-man roster for at least three weeks.
For the Packers, the episode underscores the value of keeping a stable, experienced quarterback room.
While other teams scramble for emergency help, Green Bay’s depth behind Love remains intact. Slovis gets a chance at more meaningful snaps in Baltimore; the Packers simply move on with Miller in the developmental role.
In a league where injuries can reshape a week’s preparation overnight, Green Bay’s quiet handling of the transaction leaves its quarterback picture largely unchanged.
