Green Bay, WI — With the Tuesday deadline to trim to 53 players looming, Taylor Elgersma’s future remains in the balance. The Green Bay Packers have locked in Jordan Love as QB1 and Malik Willis as the primary backup, while the QB3 spot is an open race between Elgersma and Sean Clifford.

In the preseason finale against the Seahawks at Lambeau, Elgersma closed out a clean audition: 6/8, 33 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT (two sacks for 13 yards). Across three preseason weeks (per the publicly noted marks): 16/23, 166 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT — tidy numbers for a UDFA who entered camp on a tryout invite.

For the Packers, this isn’t just a box score decision. It’s about special-teams configuration, positional balance at the bottom of the depth chart, and lingering injury risk through September. With QB3, the staff must decide: keep him on the 53 now, or try to move him to the practice squad via waivers.

In the locker room, Elgersma chose to speak through attitude—humble but clear about his aim:

“THE PACKERS PICKED ME WHEN I HAD NOWHERE TO GO. WEARING GREEN AND GOLD IS ENOUGH FOR ME. WHATEVER COMES—53 OR PRACTICE SQUAD—I’LL BE IN GREEN BAY, WORKING AND READY. SEE YOU AT LAMBEAU.”

That message fits the Lambeau ethos: when the team gives you a chance, the rest is work. Whether the next step is making the 53, moving to the practice squad, or a late twist, Elgersma believes his value lies in discipline, mastering the playbook, and staying ready when his name is called.

The window is closing. Green Bay’s decision is due before 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday. And in a place where Green & Gold demands durability, the unsung hands often set the rhythm for the autumn ahead.
