Packers elevate 2 from practice squad for Week 1 vs. Vikings
Key Points:
- The Green Bay Packers have promoted receiver Bo Melton and linebacker Kristian Welch from the practice squad ahead of their Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings, with Welch's elevation suggesting linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper may miss the game due to an Achilles injury.
- The Packers currently have a 54-player pool to select their 48-man gameday roster, meaning six players must be inactive for the game, including already ruled-out defensive lineman Warren Brinson.
- Expected inactive players likely include Warren Brinson, Ty’Ron Hopper, two offensive linemen (dependent on health), one tight end (possibly Josh Whyle), and one defensive lineman (potentially Anthony Campbell).
- The Packers' active roster decisions will be influenced by player health and positional needs, with fans invited to share their opinions on who should be kept active.
