4 Green Bay Packers on the hot seat entering Week 17

The Green Bay Packers kept their playoff hopes alive by beating the Carolina Panthers on Christmas Eve, but the game was far closer than expected.

Since then, Jaire Alexander landed a one-game suspension from the Packers and will miss Sunday's crucial divisional showdown against the Minnesota Vikings.

Green Bay's offense continues to deliver with Jordan Love and a young receiving corps, but several questions face this team entering a must-win two-game stretch. Not only are they fighting for a wild-card berth, but some Packers are trying to save their jobs.

Which four Packers are on the hot seat ahead of the team's trip to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday Night Football?

4. Samori Toure

The Packers could miss Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks against the Vikings this week. In theory, that gives second-year receiver Samori Toure an opportunity. But this might be his last chance to prove himself.

Despite all of the Packers' injuries at wide receiver, Toure played only seven offensive snaps in last week's win over the Panthers. He has been passed on the depth chart by Bo Melton and Malik Heath. Melton caught four passes for 44 yards in Week 16, solidifying his spot ahead of Toure on the depth chart.

Toure has seven catches for 84 yards this season. When he does get on the field in Week 17, he needs to make an impact. The Packers could get Watson and Wicks back for the season finale against the Chicago Bears, so this could be Toure's final opportunity.
