Nathan Jahnke of ProFootballFocus.com looks at the depth of the outside linebacker position as the Packers prepare for the Rams in the final preseason game.
When the outside linebacker group for the Green Bay Packers took to the field for practice on Saturday only 4 of the 9 players were healthy enough to participate.

Wide receiver Jeff Janis was one of the stars of the show in the Packers' 34-14 win over the Chiefs in the preseason finale Thursday evening at Lambeau Field.
