Bold prediction about Packers’ final 53-man roster: Keep 10 offensive linemen

Over the past few years, the Packers have experienced a considerable turnover along their offensive line. As they’ve allowed a lot of veterans to walk in free agency, they’ve replaced them with a plethora of draft picks.

Unfortunately, they’re still dealing with significant injuries to their two best linemen, creating the need for them to have extra insurance upfront. Keeping nine offensive linemen is on the high side and holding onto 10 is rare. However, ten capable players have emerged as worthy of a roster spot and the Packers will want additional insurance until they know David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins are 100 percent.
