The Green Bay Packers will play their first preseason game on Friday against the Cincinnati Bengals, and there will be plenty of things to keep our eyes on.
The first three weeks of training camp practices have provided us with a lot of insight into where things currently stand among position groups and how individual players look as well. But as far as the final decisions around roster spots and playing time go, the performances in the upcoming preseason games and remaining joint practices with New England are going to carry the most weight.
“It’s a piece of the puzzle,” Matt LaFleur said before Wednesday’s joint practice with Cincinnati, “so it gives you a better indication of where you are in the moment, knowing that there’s a long time between now and Week 1 that you’re going to hopefully continue to get better and better.”
Below I go through each of the Packers position groups with one big thing to keep your eyes on during their preseason game with the Bengals, along with a few honorable mentions.
