Kyle McCord led the Green Bay Packers to a 42-38 preseason win over Arizona, capping a strong performance in his first year with the team. Green Bay Press Gazette reported that the first-year quarterback brought the Packers back from an 11-point deficit in the final five minutes, throwing four touchdown passes including two to receiver Kisean Johnson.
McCord played the entire game while the Packers rested over 30 players for safety. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel noted that coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst both expressed confidence in McCord's ability to run the offense as the team heads toward the regular season.
McCord Leads Second-Half Rally Against Cardinals
The Packers faced a steep hole early but McCord engineered a furious comeback. Green Bay Press Gazette reported that McCord led Green Bay to points on seven of 11 possessions, keeping the offense moving smoothly throughout the game.
His four touchdown passes showed command of the offense in a live game setting. Two went to Kisean Johnson, a first-year receiver who caught McCord's rhythm downfield.
LaFleur and Gutekunst See Early Promise
Green Bay's leadership voiced optimism about McCord's future after the preseason finale. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that both coach Matt LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst highlighted McCord's ability to operate and function within the system.
McCord signed with the Packers in January. His solid preseason work could ease the transition as the team prepares for real games.
Packers Sit Key Players Ahead of Regular Season
Green Bay held out over 30 players for precautionary rest, including backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Wisconsin Rapids Tribune noted the team's cautious approach to protecting its roster before the season begins.
The depth decisions loom large. If the Packers keep just six receivers, they may sign two more to the practice squad to develop talent for later in the year.
