Packers reserve quarterback Kurt Benkert has made an addition to his professional resume.
After four years in the league, Benkert finally got his first N-F-L regular-season action when he knelt down twice as the clock ran out Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters starter Aaron Rodgers pushed for that.
Chandon Sullivan’s interception late in the fourth quarter set things up, then Benkert took a knee twice with the Packers holding a 45-30 lead.
He signed as an undrafted free agent in 2018 but never appeared in a game during three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.
Benkert signed with Green Bay in May.
