Burning questions for Packers: Will lack of depth catch up to them?

If you look only at the starters, the Packers have one of the best teams in the entire NFL. Sans wide receiver, they have quality players across their roster that promise to wreak havoc on opposing teams. However, their depth will be tested.

The Packers lack depth at just about every position (the offensive and defensive lines are probably the only exceptions). At safety, they have no proven players behind Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage. Cornerback is the same way behind their top three guys. Edge rusher is even worse due to the need for rotational players to spell the starters. One bout of the injury bug and their depth will be severely tested.
