Updating Packers Position Battles After First Preseason Game

Just Getting Started:

Running Back 3: Patrick Taylor vs Tyler Goodson vs Emanuel Wilson

Emanuel Wilson thrust himself squarely into the spotlight with a standout performance on Friday night, amassing an impressive 111 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries. His explosive bursts, keen vision, and agile maneuvers on the field were nothing short of spectacular.

In contrast, Tyler Goodson’s unfortunate shoulder injury has cast uncertainty over his timeline, leaving his availability in question. On the other hand, Patrick Taylor remains a consistent presence, particularly excelling in special teams duties among the trio.

Josh Myers at Center

Josh Myers finds himself engaged in a self-imposed competition, seeking to elevate his own performance. While a decisive challenger has yet to step into the spotlight, the Packers are evaluating a variety of options, notably Zach Tom and Jon Runyan Jr. These two contenders were given opportunities to showcase their skills as they took snaps alongside the second-team offensive line in the game against Cincinnati.

As the battle for the starting position unfolds, the onus is on Myers to step up his game and reaffirm his hold on the coveted job. The coming weeks will reveal whether he can meet the challenge head-on and secure his spot at the forefront of the offensive line.
