Through our patent-pending Lock-O-Meter, we break down the chances of all 91 members of the Green Bay Packers to survive the upcoming 53-man roster cutdown.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – When NFL roster cuts are due on Aug. 27, the dream of making the Green Bay Packers’ roster will die for 38 players. Even allowing for the 69-man roster that coach Matt LaFleur talks about because of the 16-man practice squad, time is running out about two-dozen players.
Even with the addition of the impressive rookie tandem of Bullard and Williams, Johnson continues to get at least a smattering of first-team reps alongside Xavier McKinney.Dillon would seem to be in a good spot because of his proven prowess in the passing game. Not only is he a good pass protector but he ranked third among all running backs last season in YAC per catch. However, the Packers aren’t financially tied to him if they were to move forward with Jacobs, Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson.
As a talented fifth-round pick, Oladapo’s place on the roster probably is safe, but making a play or two on defense or special teams in these next two games would be helpful. After missing the entire offseason and the start of training camp due to a broken toe sustained at the Scouting Combine, he really hasn’t done anything to earn a spot.
At kicker, the belief around the league is the Packers want Carlson to win the job. Thus, Greg Joseph will have to score a decisive knockout. So far, he has not. If Carlson doesn’t finish the month with a bang, it will be interesting to see which kickers are released around the league on the 27th. For the totality of camp, Joseph has outkicked Carlson. He’s also got the stronger leg. But it didn’t help that he went 3-of-7 at Wednesday’s practice in Green Bay.
At this point, Goforth is the only hope for the Packers to extend their undrafted streak to 20 years.Like in the 100 percent locks group, no explanation is needed here. There are some good players on this list who will merit a spot on the practice squad.
