Packers Sign Desmond Ridder to Practice Squad Amid QB Injury Concerns

The Green Bay Packers are signing QB Desmond Ridder to their practice squad Wednesday, bolstering depth as Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder) face uncertain statuses for Week 18. With Clayton Tune as the sole healthy QB, Ridder could be elevated for Sunday's finale. Head coach Matt LaFleur highlighted Ridder's prior experience in similar offensive systems with the Raiders and Falcons, expressing hope for a quick assimilation. Ridder has not played this season but started 18 games in his first two NFL seasons.
