Headed to Green Bay
The Packers signed McGough to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.
Analysis: McGough spent the entire 2023 regular season on the Packers' practice squad. He suffered multiple lower body injuries during the offseason, and after reverting to Green Bay's injured reserve in July, the two sides were able to reach an injury settlement that allowed McGough to explore his options once healthy. The 2018 seventh-round pick worked out with the Giants on Tuesday, but the former college quarterback will return to the Packers and continue to develop his skills as a wide receiver.

Working out with Giants
The Giants worked out McGough (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: McGough was waived by Green Bay back in July with an undisclosed injury, but he's now evidently back in shape for football activities. The Giants are in quarterback disarray after the recent benching of Daniel Jones, and new starter Tommy DeVito may not exactly promise iron-clad stability as the second half of the season plays out.

Reaches injury settlement
McGough (undisclosed) was waived by the Packers after the two sides reached an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: McGough reverted to Green Bay's injured reserve last week after suffering an undisclosed injury, but he will now have an opportunity to find a new team. The former quarterback made the transition to wide receiver this offseason and he'll have to clear a physical prior to signing with a new team.

Reverts to IR
McGough (undisclosed) has reverted to the Packers' injured reserve, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: McGough was waived with an injury designation Friday as a result of an undisclosed injury, and he'll now be forced to miss the entirety of the 2024 season, barring an injury settlement. The 28-year-old made the switch from quarterback to wide receiver this offseason, and even when he's healthy, McGough appeared like a long shot to crack Green Bay's active roster.

Analysis: In corresponding moves, the Packers signed wide receivers Rory Starkey and Jalen Wayne. The nature of McGough's injury is unclear at this point, but he'll likely need to get back on the field soon to have any chance at making a 53-man roster.

Moves to PUP list
The Packers placed McGough on the active/PUP list Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: McGough can be activated at any time throughout training camp and the preseason, once healthy. The 28-year-old spent the entire 2023 season on Green Bay's practice squad as a quarterback, but head coach Matt LaFleur announced in May that McGough had made a position change to receiver. McGough has yet to take a regular-season snap in the NFL since entering the professional ranks in 2018.
