2014 Green Bay Packers 53-Man Roster

Wide Receiver (5)

Starters: Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Jarrett Boykin

Backups: Davante Adams, Myles White

Cut: Jeff Janis, Kevin Dorsey, Alex Gillett, Chris Harper, Gerrard Sheppard

Injured Reserve: Jared Abbrederis

The young depth at receiver hasn’t quite lived up to its hype going into the preseason. In my opinion, the group beyond the starters has been inconsistent in game situations. Boykin has locked up the third receiver spot ahead of second-round pick Adams, who has been up and down to this point.

White will narrowly beat out Janis, Dorsey, and Gillett for the final spot at wide receiver because he’s been more consistent than the other three, and he can contribute on special teams in a number of ways.

So far, Janis only has one impressive play on his resume during live action, which just isn’t enough to go on. The Packers could stash Janis and Dorsey on the practice squad in hopes to develop them further.
