Manny Wilkins

The Packers cut Wilkins on Monday.

Analysis: Wilkins spent the entire 2019 campaign on Green Bay's practice squad after going undrafted out of Arizona State, only appearing in preseason action. The team's selection of rookie signal-caller Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft effectively nullified Wilkins' spot on the roster, leaving the 24-year-old free to look for a chance elsewhere in the league.

Wilkins agreed to a contract with Green Bay on Tuesday.

Analysis: Wilkins finished the season on the Packers' practice squad after failing to appear in any regular-season action. The 24-year-old will look to beat out Tim Boyle for the team's No. 2 quarterback role in 2020.

Wilkins completed 1-of-2 passes for 14 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: Wilkins completed his first pass as a professional after going 0-for-3 in the Packers' first exhibition game, but did not do anything notable otherwise. Wilkins could see more opportunities before the preseason comes to a close -- particularly in the final exhibition contest -- but at this point he is primarily looking to lock up a spot on the practice squad.
