Jason Spriggs

Even with the surprising move in August to move on from Josh Sitton, Green Bay still has one of the league’s best lines. His replacement at guard Lane Taylor hasn’t been as effective as the former Packer, but he’s mostly done well as the new weekly cog in the group.

Due to the level of play those guys have maintained, no other changes have needed to be made; because of that, Spriggs hasn’t seen much work so far in the year (just 5 snaps through 4 games).

Barring an injury to one of the Green Bay tackles falling to injury (not out of the question; Bulaga has seemingly been hit with one each season, while Bakhtiari missed time last season due to one of his own), Spriggs likely will continue only seeing limited snaps in oversized lineups.
