3 Packers tumbling down depth charts during the preseason
With the first game of the Green Bay Packers‘ preseason in the books, things are beginning to fall into place when it comes to the 53-man roster and the depth chart. There’s still plenty of time to go, however, and the Packers have some big decisions ahead.
For some players, it’s been a great summer to date with strong performances on the practice field and in the preseason opener. For others, they could be falling down the depth chart with only weeks to go until the roster is trimmed down to 53 players and the Packers begin their regular-season schedule on the road against the New Orleans Saints.
Saturday night’s preseason defeat to the Houston Texans saw the long-awaited Packers debut for quarterback Jordan Love. Love had a solid night overall, but he wasn’t out there with many other expected starters. It was a game for many of the young players and those on the roster bubble to prove themselves and make an impact.
For many, including wide receiver Devin Funchess and inside linebacker Oren Burks, it proved to be a great night that only helped their chances of making the roster.
But which players are falling down the depth chart as we enter the second week of the preseason?
