The Packers waived rookie quarterback Joe Callahan on Thursday.

Callahan had made the Packers as an undrafted rookie and was the team’s third quarterback. The roster move was likely made to open up a spot to be filled later in the week.

Callahan played Div. III college football at Wesley. He threw three touchdown passes and no interceptions and made a strong impression on the team’s decision makers in the preseason, when he got extended time because No. 2 quarterback Brett Hundley was battling injuries.
