![]() ![]() ![]() Etling was an efficient passer and displayed impressive athleticism. ![]() We will see what happens with Chris Slayton, who impressed as well.Įtling’s ceiling with the Packers was always going to be the practice squad, which I imagine the team is hoping they can sign him to. Heflin being cut may come as a surprise, however, as I wrote about recently, if the usage of the sixth IDL was going to be similar to what it was in 2021 - which was minimal on both defense and special teams - that roster spot could be better utilized elsewhere. Heflin put together another strong preseason, especially against the run where he is at his best. Thomas is a prime practice squad candidate. With Thomas cut, Rico Gafford is the clear front-runner for the sixth cornerback spot, if the Packers keep that many. Thomas put himself in position to make the final roster with his play on defense this summer, allowing only one completion for eight yards, while also being a sound tackler. Mack was on the field for 66 offensive snaps this preseason and another 24 on special teams, according to PFF ($$), but with Robert Tonyan off PUP, making the roster was always a long shot for Mack. ![]() He was targeted just once in the preseason, however, and had his ups and downs as a blocker. Mack was signed early in the offseason and provided the Packers with a move tight end. Cross is a 2022 undrafted rookie from Virginia who was versatile, filling a number of roles on that Cavalier defense. The Packers signed Cross during training camp when they found themselves very thin at the safety position. Summers was competing with Ray Wilborn for that fifth linebacker roster spot-although the Packers may choose to only keep four. Summers has been a regular member of the special teams unit in his three seasons, but that may not have carried the same clout this year because of there being a new coordinator with a new system and the Packers’ special teams unit regularly being among the worst in football. With De’Vondre Campbell returning and the addition of Quay Walker, making the final roster felt like an uphill battle for Summers, who defensively has been limited, particularly in coverage. Green Bay Packers 2022 roster cuts tracker and analysis LB Ty Summers These are just a few of the roster decisions that Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst will have to continue to weigh over the next 24-plus hours.īelow you can find a running tracker of each reported cut that the Packers make prior to Tuesday’s deadline, along with analysis of each decision. A few questions that the Packers still have to answer include, who is the third running back-Tyler Goodson or Patrick Taylor? Who is the fifth edge rusher? Do the Packers keep a sixth interior defensive lineman or a 10th offensive lineman?Īlso, to be considered, if a player is cut, how likely is it that he will be claimed by another team before being able to be brought back to the practice squad? With the preseason now concluded, the Green Bay Packers roster needs to be at the 53-player maximum by Tuesday’s 3:00 CST deadline.Īs I discussed in a recent article, there will be some difficult roster decisions that have to be made. ![]()
