The Green Bay Packers cut their roster to 53 players on Tuesday. From quarterback to kicker, here are the biggest surprises of the day.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers selected their 53-man roster on Tuesday. It’s not the “final” 53 so much as it’s the “initial” 53.
The Packers are going with Xavier McKinney, the team’s big free agent addition, rookies Javon Bullard, Evan Williams and Kitan Oladapo, and Zayne Anderson, a core special-teamer last year.The good news is the Packers must feel incredibly good about the health of former first-round pick Eric Stokes, who served more stints on injured lists than he played games on defense last year.
After all, Carlson was a sixth-round pick last year. The Packers suffered through his ups and downs last year. Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, who helped bring the best out of Carlson’s brother, Daniel, probably thought he could do the same. Mosby made the roster through his brilliance against the Ravens. He was having a good camp, anyway, until he struck for a forced fumble that Johnson returned for a touchdown and an interception.
Dillard, Telfort and Glover are offensive tackles. The Packers covet versatility, but this is how it could break down: Dillard was much better at left tackle than right tackle, so he could be the backup at left tackle. Telfort can play both spots, so he could be the backup at right tackle. And Glover could hone his skills in the NFL version of a redshirt season.That general manager Brian Gutekunst is going with two quarterbacks isn’t a surprise at all.
