Packers roundup: Takeaways from preseason so far
A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Sunday, August 18.
Welcome to the Packers News Report.
We’re almost at the third week of preseason, which means the regular season is only a couple of weeks away. Tackling is a concern for the defense at the moment (more on that shortly), but one big question is which wide receivers will make the 53-man roster. General manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur will have some tough decisions to make.
Let’s assume that four spots are gone; Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Jake Kumerow are all roster locks. But who else will make the roster?
Equanimeous St. Brown? J’Mon Moore? Allen Lazard? Darrius Shepherd? Trevor Davis?
