Cam Miller entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. He later joined the Miami Dolphins late in his rookie season after being signed off the Raiders’ practice squad. Across his NFL tenure, Miller has spent most of his time with teams on the preseason roster rather than claiming a spot on the 53-man roster. In the most recent preseason, his efficiency was limited, completing 42.1 percent of his passes (14 of 33) with one touchdown and one interception, and he fumbled twice. Those figures have made it a tough sell for a real-time contribution on an active roster, but teams sometimes find value in additional bodies for practice squads or scout-team work as they prepare for upcoming opponents.
Another quarterback who worked out for Green Bay was Eric Johnson II, a veteran defensive tackle who entered the league as a fifth-round pick in 2022 for a different organization. Johnson also attended a free-agent workout with the Packers on Monday, underscoring the team’s broader search for depth beyond their current quarterback room.
Impact on the current quarterback situation
If Green Bay signs Miller, it would not necessarily mean an immediate move to replace Love on the active roster. More likely, he could be considered for the scout team or as additional practice-squad depth to help emulate upcoming opponents’ looks during the week. Such a move would depend on the team’s evaluation of Miller and their broader plans for the quarterback room.
Kedon Slovis remains on the roster as a practice-squad quarterback. The Packers previously moved Kyle McCord to another team to clear space, and Slovis—a former undrafted free agent with minimal regular-season game experience—has been developing behind Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor. If Green Bay adds a quarterback like Miller to the practice squad, it could signal a shift away from Slovis, though head coach Matt LaFleur has historically highlighted the challenge of carrying more than three quarterbacks on the active or practice squads.
Performance and pass protection concerns
The Packers’ Week 1 defeat highlighted issues beyond quarterback depth. While Jordan Love delivered some solid plays—most notably a long touchdown connection to Christian Watson—the offense struggled against a blitz-heavy Vikings defense. Pro Football Focus noted that Love was pressured on 32 of his 46 dropbacks, leading to four sacks, 12 hurries, and 15 hits. A significant portion of those pressures came unblocked, pointing to problems along the offensive line.
Left tackle Jordan Morgan faced notable pressure, with five pressures allowed and a high pressure rate. Other starting linemen and top running backs surrendered multiple pressures as well, indicating a systemic challenge in pass protection. Donovan Jennings, a first-time starter at left guard, earned the lowest PFF grade among NFL guards in Week 1, highlighting the need for upgrades or improved performance up front.
Injury and lineup considerations for Week 2
If veteran Aaron Banks returns, there could be an immediate but cautious improvement at left guard. Banks’ availability would influence how Green Bay approaches protection for Love against the New York Jets in Week 2. The matchup features a Jets defense that will bring pressure, and the Packers will want to tighten the protection schemes to give Love time to operate.
Strategic outlook
Green Bay’s early-season focus should be twofold: bolster the quarterback depth as a contingency plan and shore up the offensive line to protect Love better. The latter is especially critical given the increased pressure Love faced in Week 1 and the need for the offense to sustain drives and finalize red-zone opportunities more efficiently.
With the Jets on the schedule, the Packers must address both the interior protection and the consistency of run and pass blocking. If the team chooses to proceed with Miller as a practice-squad addition or scout-team quarterback, it would be a prudent move to evaluate potential development or to provide a stable curve for their weekly game preparation without disrupting the core offensive structure.
In sum, Green Bay is weighing quarterback options while prioritizing offensive-line stability. The Week 2 game against the Jets will be telling as to how the coaching staff adjusts its protection schemes and whether any additional quarterback depth is activated for practice routines or future roster considerations. The focus remains clear: protect Jordan Love, sharpen the run-pass balance, and optimize the pocket to maximize the team’s chances in a competitive stretch of the season.
