By 3:00 CST on Tuesday, August 30th, the Green Bay Packers must have their initial 53-man roster set. Once these rosters are set, the Packers will then begin constructing their 16-player practice squad–made up entirely, or at least mostly, of players they had just cut.

I recently came out with my final 53-man roster prediction for the Green Bay Packers, so using that as my guide, I will now take a swing at projecting what the practice squad is going to look like.

In short, below is how I see the roster taking shape. But if you’d like a more in-depth look at my reasoning, you can click here to read the full article.

OL (9): David Bakhtiari, Yosh Nijman, Jon Runyan, Josh Myers, Jake Hanson, Royce Newman, Sean Rhyan, Elgton Jenkins, and Zach Tom
