Packers reveal which RB, WR would fill in as emergency QB amid injuries image

The Green Bay Packers don't have the healthiest quarterback room at the moment.

Jordan Love is questionable for Saturday's Week 17 clash with the Baltimore Ravens. Malik Willis is questionable, too.

The third QB on the roster is practice squad passer Clayton Tune.

If one of the quarterbacks had to miss Saturday's game, Tune would be elevated and serve as the backup.

But what if things get really dicey? Teams usually have an emergency quarterback in mind, a guy from a different position who would play in a pinch.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur revealed this week (via ESPN) that Green Bay has two potential emergency QBs:

  • RB Josh Jacobs
  • WR Jayden Reed

We rarely get to see a team use such a player, but it's always fascinating insight to know who would be in the picture.

If the Packers ever got to this nightmare scenario, it's unlikely that they'd throw much, if at all.

Jacobs is a sturdier, more powerful player, while Reed is a smaller speedster. They could both cause problems for defenses in the right setup.

But Green Bay would much prefer not to have to worry about that at all.
