Starters: A.J. Hawk, Brad Jones
Backups: Jamari Lattimore, Sam Barrington
Cut: Jake Doughty, Joe Thomas, Korey Jones
Neither Lattimore or Barrington has done enough to unseat Hawk or Brad Jones as starters, but the two young linebackers should make the final roster and provide depth at the position.
Thomas began camp as one of the young standout linebackers on the roster, but after only a few plays into the preseason opener, Thomas left the contest because of injury and hasn’t suited up since. Green Bay may consider putting him on injured reserve to keep him around for another year and still use the rosters spot on somebody else.
Both Doughty and Korey Jones have really struggled in the preseason and seemed outmatched in coverage.
