Packers 53-man roster prediction before training camp: Who misses out?
- Predicting the Packers' 53-man roster ahead of training camp
- Rashan Gary and Eric Stokes begin on PUP list
- Five wide receivers, six safeties
Tight end (4)
Luke Musgrave, Tucker Kraft, Josiah Deguara, Tyler Davis
Tight end is one of the few positions without much uncertainty. The Packers will likely keep four tight ends, and there won't be too many arguments here.
Green Bay drafted Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft in the opening three rounds. They aren't going anywhere. Josiah Deguara has shown some promise when playing with Jordan Love, and his role differs from Musgrave and Kraft. Deguara can play more of an H-back role in Matt LaFleur's offense.
Tyler Davis' path to the 53 comes on special teams. No player featured on more special teams snaps for the Packers than Davis last season.
Offensive line (9)
David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan, Yosh Nijman, Zach Tom, Royce Newman, Rasheed Walker, Caleb Jones
Yosh Nijman vs. Zach Tom for the starting right tackle job is among the most interesting positional battles this summer. They split first-team reps throughout the offseason workout program.
Depth is a concern along the offensive line. Royce Newman offers versatility but struggled last season. Rasheed Walker and Caleb Jones are yet to play a snap on offense but have potential.
The competition along the offensive line should be wide-open. A few roster spots could be on the line this summer.
