The Green Bay Packers finished the preseason with a final practice on Thursday and the preseason finale on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. The final step before the regular season can officially begin is trimming the roster from 90 players down to 53, which has to be completed by Tuesday afternoon.
“Obviously, it’s a tough time of the year,” said Matt LaFleur following the Seattle game. “When we have to make some really tough decisions, but that’s because of the effort and type of locker room that we have. Gutey (GM Brian Gutekunst) and his staff have done a nice job of getting a very competitive roster, especially at certain positions. But, it’s on to the regular season now.”
Based on what took place in the preseason, along with what I saw during each of the Packers training camp practices, here is my best guess at how the final 53-man roster shakes out.
