Green Bay Packers: 5 questions against the Steelers
The Green Bay Packers continue their preseason slate against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. But many questions remain about the team and roster depth.
Going into Week 2 of the preseason, the Green Bay Packers are in a good spot health and performance-wise from their starting groups.
David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga are back, as are Kevin King and Jaire Alexander. Really, the only starter missing is Nick Perry, who is still recovering from offseason ankle surgery. With those guys back and Aaron Rodgers preparing to play on Thursday night, this might be the best chance to see where the team is as the regular season rapidly approaches.
On the other side is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are playing it the exact opposite. Numerous starters will be sitting out, including Ben Roethlisberger, who is now in the concussion protocol. Running back Le’Veon Bell is also still holding out over his contract situation.
So, as far as the on-field product goes, the Packers definitely have a leg up on Thursday, but plenty of questions still remain, especially when it comes to the position battles at the bottom of the roster.
No matter the score of the game, what will matter the most will be the performance of those guys fighting for their futures in Green Bay. Here are five questions about the Packers Thursday night as they take on the Steelers.
