man roster who may not make it to Week 1
Lombardi Ave • • sports
Key Points:
- The Green Bay Packers' initial 53-man roster included surprising cuts and inclusions, but some players remain at risk of being released before Week 1.
- Offensive tackle Travis Glover made the roster over veteran Darian Kinnard but is vulnerable due to his position as the 10th offensive lineman and potential team needs at edge rusher.
- Long snapper Matt Orzech, a trusted veteran, secured his spot over his replacement Cal Adomitis, but his position could be reconsidered if kicker Trey Smack struggles before the season starts.
- Tight end Josh Whyle made the roster initially but faces uncertainty after the Packers acquired Mark Redman, who fills a needed blocking role, potentially limiting the team to three tight ends.
- Overall, these three players—Glover, Orzech, and Whyle—are on precarious ground despite making the initial roster, with roster adjustments likely before the season opener.
