The same is true for Jake Hanson at center. Yosuah Nijman is likely the next man up at left tackle behind Jenkins, after bouncing back from a poor performance in Week 1 of the preseason. Dennis Kelly is a swing tackle who has seen the vast majority of his reps this summer at right tackle. The Packers are going into the season with a starting line of Jenkins-Patrick-Myers-Newman-Turner. Offensive Line: Elgton Jenkins, Lucas Patrick, Josh Myers, Royce Newman, Billy Turner, Jon Runyan, Dennis Kelly, Yosuah Nijman, Jake Hanson (PUP: David Bakhtiari) Defensive end convert Bronson Kaufusi played well as a blocking tight end in the Marcedes Lewis role, making him a priority as a practice squad player. The question now is if Jace Sternberger, a true tight end, will bounce Dominique Dafney, essentially a fullback, off the roster when he is no longer suspended. The Packers kept four tight ends, who all have unique roles when they’re in the game.
Tight End: Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis, Josiah Deguara, Dominique Dafney (SUS: Jace Sternberger) Taylor likely got the nod due to his age and ability to contribute in the punting game as both a vice and punt gunner. If Begelton doesn’t make a 53-man roster somewhere, expect him to re-sign to the Packers’ practice squad, as he had a quality preseason for the team. Malik Taylor took a race for the final receiver spot to the finish line with Reggie Begelton, a former CFL all-star. Wide Receiver: Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers, Malik Taylorįive of the six receivers to make the team were essentially roster locks by the time the preseason started. If a running back should go down, Taylor could be activated and may stick the rest of the season on the roster. Taylor has practice squad potential that could lead to him contributing as a kick returner and as a non-ball-in-hand special teamer at some point this season. In a crowded backfield, Patrick Taylor and Dexter Williams were unable to make the final roster. Running Back: Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Kylin Hill
Expect there to be an attempt to sign Kurt Benkert to the practice squad, with quarterbacks like Jake Dolegala and the twice-worked-out Donald Hammond being in the mix, if they can’t keep Benkert in Green Bay. The Packers officially go into the season with a two-man quarterback room, which probably should be the case when a former first-rounder flashed the way Jordan Love did this preseason. Without further ado, here are your 2021 Green Bay Packers with some analysis, broken down by position, on why certain players were kept, why certain players weren’t, and who could be in play for practice squad spots moving forward.
