Taylor Elgersma won’t start the NFL season on Green Bay’s active roster after the Packers waived the Wilfrid Laurier standout. Green Bay will feature two QBs to open — Jordan Love and Malik Willis — with Sean Clifford also waived. If Elgersma clears, he could land on Green Bay’s practice squad, keeping a fast-rlying option in a system that’s primed for development. Elgersma’s three-game preseason showed promise (16-of-23, 166 yards, TD) and a rushing score, underscoring his upside as a late-round developmental passer.

The waiver landscape also spotlighted a cadre of Canadians and CFL alumni hitting the market: Nikola Kalinic, Tanner McLachlan, Ajou Ajou, Sidy Sow, Kyle Hergel and Brent Urban, among others. San Francisco released Carter Bradley, Nate Sudfeld, and Tanner Mordecai; Kurtis Rourke remains on non‑football injury with knee rehab. Ontarian targets like Ontaria Wilson and CFL standouts Ralph Holley and Elliott Brown were moved as teams recalibrated rosters. Elgersma’s arc — Laurier to Senior Bowl and beyond — remains one of the more intriguing cross-border threads this week.
