Packers vs Raiders: 5 players who are feeling the pressure

These five players will get all the attention they can handle (and then some) when the Green Bay Packers travel to Oakland to take on the Raiders.

The Green Bay Packers square up against the Oakland Raiders for the all-important third preseason game. Typically, this game is used as a dress rehearsal with the starters playing deep into the second quarter. However, that won’t be the case for the Packers.

Green Bay played their starting unit for one possession in Week two against the Pittsburgh Steelers and that appears to be enough for them. On the drive, Rodgers led the offense down the field and capped it with a touchdown to new tight end Jimmy Graham. Now, it appears Rodgers and most of the starters will sit out the rest of the preseason.

Green Bay enters the game at 2-0, looking to preserve their undefeated exhibition season. In all seriousness, this is a big opportunity for a lot of young guys to prove themselves. Not all of the roster spots are locked in and some are still fighting for their lives. Not all of these players are in danger of missing the 53-man roster, but they need to start performing up to their capabilities. Without further ado, let’s check in on five Packers feeling pressure heading into Friday night’s game against the Steelers.
