Green Bay Packers Roster Projection 2.0

GREEN BAY, Wis. A suming everybody is healthy, the Green Bay Packers have one of the best collections of front-line players in the NFL.Health, however, is a major question mark as the Packers set their sights on Fridays preseason opener at the San Francisco 49ers.Can the Packers po sibly survive the first month of the season if neither David Bakhtiari nor Elgton Jenkins are in the starting lineup? The Packers are fortunate to have Yosh Nijman poised to start at one of the offensive tackle positions, but will general manager Brian Gutekunst have to find a veteran for the other spot?Thats not the only position where Gutekunst might be shopping over the next few weeks. The depth charts are thin at outside linebacker behind starters Rashan Gary and Preston Smith, at cornerback behind Jaire Alexander, Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas, and at safety behind Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage. He might need to find a long snapper, too. None of the young players have really emerged at those four positions. Scroll to ContinueSo, Jason Terry Jersey even with perhaps the best defense since the Super Bowl season of 2010, the fate of the Packers will be placed on the shoulders of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who might have to navigate around a makeshift offensive line and an unproven group of receivers.We like to throw a lot on his shoulders because hes a really good player and hes certainly done that, Gutekunst said last week. What this teams going to be as we move forward, we have a lot of work to do. On paper, I think theres a reason to be excited and I like the way the guys are working. But we have a long way to get to that first game. Were going to need some luck to kind of stay healthy and get to where we need to be. But I do think and Ive talked about this before you want to try to have a team that can win in multiple ways whether its offense, defense, special teams. I think this team has the potential to do that. So, well see where it goes but I like the way theyre pushing right now. , here is our second shot at predicting the 53-man roster that emerges from training camp. Remember, rosters will be cut on three consecutive Tuesdays: to 85 on Aug. 16, to 80 on Aug. 23 and to 53 on Aug. 30. Quarterbacks (2)On the 53: Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love.Changes: None.Toughest cut: None.Injury concern: None.Analysis: Only an injury is going to upset this apple cart. Rodgers, the four-time MVP, is going to have his work cut out for him unle s the offensive line gets healthy and solidified in time for Week 1. Loves up-and-down Family Night was sort of like his up-and-down training camp, though hes also playing behind a young offensive line and a mish-mash of receivers. Danny Etlings lack of a big-time arm was evident on Family Night; his pa s to the sideline to Ishmael Hyman took forever to reach its destination and was almost snared by Donte Vaughn. Running Backs (3) On the 53: Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Patrick Taylor.Changes: None.Toughest cut: None.Injury concern: Kylin Hill (ACL) remains on the physically unable to perform list. That opens the door to him OJ Mayo Jersey starting the regular season on PUP, though hes looked explosive in his rehab workouts.Analysis: In the race to be the No. 3 back behind the elite combo of Jones and Dillon, Taylor entered training camp with a huge lead over undrafted rookies B.J. Baylor and Tyler Goodson. With Taylor sidelined by a groin injury, the rookies have a chance to close the gap. Goodson had a strong practice on Thursday but neither distinguished himself on Family Night. Receivers (6) On the 53: Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson.Changes: Samori Toure (out).Toughest cuts: Toure, a seventh-round pick, has had a quiet training camp but scored two touchdowns on Family Night. He made a great adjustment on an underthrown pa s on the first and ran past the defensive backs on the second. Juwann Winfree had a strong offseason and opened training camp running with the No. 1 offense. He seems John Henson Jersey to have been pushed aside by the coaches, though, with Lazard, Watkins, Cobb and Doubs getting the first-team focus. Injury concern: Watson (knee).Analysis: The gue s on Watson is based purely on the calendar. Theres more than one month until the regular season begins. Even if hes not 100 percent ready for Week 1 at the Vikings, keeping him on the active roster would allow him to take his training camp into the early weeks of the regular season. But who knows? While his injured teammates have been going through on-the-field workouts during practice, any work Watson has done has been kept being closed doors. Tight Ends (4) On the 53: Marcedes Lewis, Tyler Davis, Josiah Deguara, Dominque Dafney.Changes: Sal Cannella (out), Dafney (in).Toughest cut: None.Injury concern: Robert Tonyan (ACL) remains on PUP.Analysis: Tonyan was injured on Oct. 28. If hes not ready for Week 1 at the Vikings on Sept. 11, its going to be close. Given his importance (and upcoming free agency), a conservative approach makes sense from both perspectives. Lewis continues to block his butt off and Deguara has had a really good camp. If Tonyan can return to form, this would be a high-quality group with a receiver (Tonyan), blocker (Lewis) and fullback-type (Deguara). Offensive line (9) On the 53: LT Yosh Nijman, LG Jon Runyan Jr, C Josh Myers, RG Royce Newman, RT Zach Tom, G/T Sean Rhyan, T/G Cole Van Lanen, G/C Jake Hanson, Veteran Tackle TBA.Changes: Hanson (in), LT David Bakhtiari (out), T Rasheed Walker (out).Toughest cut: None.Injury concern: Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins are on PUP as they battle back from torn ACL. Bakhtiaris concern runs much deeper than the start of this season, obviously. Will he play again? If he does, will he return to his All-Pro form?Analysis: Khris Middleton Jersey The fate of the season will hinge on a pair of reconstructed anterior cruciate ligaments. Typically, an ACL is a nine- or 10-month injury. Bakhtiari has doubled that timeline and still hasnt practiced this summer. Its not his fault, obviously. Would the Packers have reached the Super Bowl in 2020 had Bakhtiari not suffered his knee injury at practice? Would the Packers have reached the Super Bowl in 2021 with Bakhtiari and Jenkins on the field? Regardle s, Vikings pa s rushers ZaDarius Smith and Danielle Hunter have to be drooling at the po sibility of facing Newman or Tom at right tackle. The gue s here is the Packers will be ultra-conversative with Bakhtiari given how many detours his comeback took last s
