The Green Bay Packers have had quite the roller-coaster ride to kick off their NFL season. It’s been a mix of highs and lows, and as the dust settles, the Packers find themselves at an even 2-2 record after the first quarter of the season.

Head coach Matt LaFleur and his coaching staff have made some commendable moves during this period, but there have also been some rather perplexing decisions. In this article, our focus narrows down to the latter – those puzzling choices that leave fans and analysts alike scratching their heads.

While there’s ample time and room for improvement, let’s delve in and pinpoint five individuals on Green Bay’s roster who ought to see more playing time to bolster the team’s progress moving forward.

These five players on the Green Bay Packers deserve more playing time moving forward after the first four games of the NFL season.

Packers Who Deserve More Playing Time: Emanuel Wilson

It’s clear AJ Dillon is not the answer. He’s declined since entering the NFL and is a free agent following this season. He’s had his time to prove he could improve, and now it’s time for him to move over for Emanuel Wilson.

Wilson made the squad as an undrafted free agent, but has been mostly inactive on game days. Wilson flashed in the preseason with some breakaway runs, and the Packers should give him the backup role while featuring Aaron Jones (more on him later). What’s the worst that could happen?
