    The Green Bay Packers will elevate practice squad QB Scott Tolzien to the 53-man roster to account for the loss of starting QB Aaron Rodgers, an NFL source said.

    Tolzien, who last week agreed to a pay raise commensurate with a third-year minimum salary, joined the club just prior to the start of the regular season.

    SteveRobWhatever's Take: The Packers are promoting from within. The Packers have two ex-49ers at quarterback now, with Seneca Wallace remaining the starter during Rodgers' absence. The Packers like what they have seen so far in Tolzien, enough to give him a raise from $6,000 to $32,000 just to keep him from signing with the Browns last week.
