Taylor Elgersma’s NFL chance will have to wait.
The Green Bay Packers will not be signing the Canadian quarterback to their practice squad after waiving him on Tuesday, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reported on Wednesday.
Green Bay will start the season with just two quarterbacks, starter Jordan Love and Malik Willis, on its active roster.
The six-foot-five, 227-pound Elgersma completed 16-of-23 passes (69.6 per cent) for 166 yards and a touchdown in three pre-season appearances with Green Bay. He also had a four-yard run.
Elgersma signed with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent after attending the NFL team’s mini-camp. He became just the fourth Canadian university quarterback to sign south of the border and first since ’87.
Elgersma led Laurier to a Vanier Cup appearance last season. He was later invited to the Senior Bowl, becoming just the second Canadian university player to earn the honour and first U Sports quarterback.
