With Week 1 just around the corner and roster cuts looming, these three Green Bay Packers’ players need a big final week of practice.
The Green Bay Packers – along with every other NFL team- will have to make their final roster cuts in just a few short days, and on top of that, we are less than two weeks away from the season opener. So whether players are battling for playing time come Week 1 or a spot on the final roster, they’re running out of time.
While, yes, there are several more players who could be added to this list, when thinking about which players need a big final week of practice, there were three in particular that came to mind.
One is hoping to be a starter this season, another had aspirations of being a starter but could end up cut, and the third is hoping for a roster spot. As I mentioned, there are others who could make this list, but let’s take a closer look at these three players who need to make one last push in the final week of practice.
