Green Bay Packers 53-man roster predictions, post-preseason edition
By Kenn Korb
Offensive Line
David Bahktiari, Brian Bulaga, Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, J.C. Tretter, Corey Linsley, Lane Taylor, Derek Sherrod
The starting line for Week 1 is set as Bahktiari (LT), Sitton (RG), Linsley (C), Lang (RG) and Bulaga (RT). Tretter would be in as the starting center, but due to injury he won’t be able to play at the start of the year; he should return in about a month or so if his recovery goes as expected.
Sherrod hasn’t been exceptional as the backup tackle in the preseason, but he’s played well enough to secure the backup slots. If Don Barclay had not torn up his knee, he was set to back up the guard slots; with that injury, Taylor is set to hold the backup spot there. Once Tretter heals, look for Linsley to be relegated to backup center duties (unless he does well enough as the starter; then Tretter can back him up instead).
