Green Bay, WI – Green Bay released quarterback Graham Harrell on Sunday, meaning that Vince Young will likely be the Packers' No. 2 quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers.
Harrell failed to impress the coaches in Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Texas Tech product spent the previous three seasons with the Packers.
Young, who was signed by Green Bay earlier this month, last played with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. He played in six games that season and threw for 866 yards with four touchdowns and nine interceptions.
The 30-year-old Young was with the Buffalo Bills during the 2012 preseason. He was cut before the season started.
