Packers with most to lose or gain heading into final preseason game: Yosh Nijman, OT

Getting back to the offensive line, Yosh Nijman will need a big performance to secure his spot on the roster. The Packers brought in Dennis Kelly via free agency– a swing tackle who has experience with Matt LaFleur–as an apparent backup at the position. Does that signal a lack of trust in Nijman?

Nijman has been up and down this preseason, but one good performance could go a long way. The Bills have a strong defensive line that will challenge him, but also give him a great opportunity to prove his worth. His roster spot is truly on the line with a make-or-break performance hanging in the balance.
