5 Packers players in danger of losing their job after minicamp
Cracking the Green Bay Packers' roster in 2024 is going to be tough. The competition is already proving to be fierce as the team has gone through OTAs and mandatory minicamp, which means we've now reached the lull between offseason work and training camp. The NFL season is nearly upon us.
In this down time, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and his staff are going to be pouring over the practice tape from the last handful of weeks. LaFleur, along with general manager Brian Gutekunst, will already undoubtedly be starting the process of grading and ranking players on the 90-man roster and which guys are going to be in the team's plans this season and which ones aren't.
As of the end of mandatory minicamp, which players' roster spots could be in jeopardy?
Packers players in danger of losing their roster spots this summer
1. Sean Clifford, quarterback
To say it's been a tough OTAs for Sean Clifford might be an understatement. There's nothing wrong with quarterbacks throwing an interception or two at practice, but Clifford threw three interceptions at Packers minicamp at their Tuesday practice session and another interception at their Wednesday practice session. Four interceptions in two days is a bit much, and it's going to open the door more than just a crack for 2024 seventh-round pick Michael Pratt.
Pratt was an NFL Draft steal for the Packers in 2024 in the seventh round. There were a number of people talking about him as a third-to-fourth-round pick at the very worst, and Green Bay scooped him up after an inexplicable fall to the bottom of the draft.
Given the fact that Pratt has been impressive and Clifford has gone the opposite direction, the 2023 fifth-round pick could very well be on the proverbial chopping block when the Packers reconvene for training camp in July.
