Packers 46-Man Gameday Roster Prediction vs. Vikings
Mike Neal, Frank Zombo and Chad Clifton have already been ruled out for Monday's game. By rule, at least four more players must join them as inactive. We have the prediction.
Here's our best guess at predicting the Packers gameday roster for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.
The entire roster is included. Those bold and italicized are predicted to be inactive...
Quarterbacks: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn
Running backs: Ryan Grant, James Starks, John Kuhn, Brandon Saine
Wide receivers: Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Randall Cobb
Tight ends: Jermichael Finley, Andrew Quarless, Tom Crabtree, Ryan Taylor, D.J. Williams
Offensive line: Chad Clifton, T.J. Lang, Scott Wells, Josh Sitton, Bryan Bulaga, Marshall Newhouse, Evan Dietrich-Smith, Derek Sherrod, Ray Dominguez
Defensive line: B.J. Raji, Ryan Pickett, Mike Neal, Jarius Wynn, C.J. Wilson, Howard Green
Outside linebackers: Clay Matthews, Erik Walden, Frank Zombo, Brad Jones, Jamari Lattimore, Vic So'oto
Inside linebackers: A.J. Hawk, Desmond Bishop, D.J. Smith, Robert Francois
Cornerbacks: Charles Woodson, Tramon Williams, Sam Shields, Jarrett Bush, Pat Lee, Davon House
Safeties: Morgan Burnett, Charlie Peprah, M.D. Jennings
Specialists: Mason Crosby, Tim Masthay, Brett Goode
Commentary:
- Mike Neal, Frank Zombo and Chad Clifton have already been ruled out of Monday's game.
- Neal practiced in limited fashion every day this week, but the Packers clearly aren't going to take a chance with him on Monday. The good news is that he appears to be making good progress.
- The toughest choice seemingly comes down to the two rookie outside linebackers, Jamari Lattimore and Vic So'oto. The deactivation of Zombo, makes one of them a likely choice to play on Monday. Lattimore has been the better special teams player while So'oto is probably the better defender. But for some reason, the coaching staff has been hesitant to give So'oto a chance on D. The guess is that they'll continue to go with Lattimore as they've done more frequently this season.
- Davon House, Robert Francois and Ray Dominguez have all been inactive for several games this season. That figures to continue.

It's getting to the point of the year where we can bring in some project types to see what they can do. So'oto fits the bill. And maybe we discover a late season pass rusher. There are still plenty of things to play for but wouldn't if be nice if So'oto helps solve won of the biggest concerns with the Pack - the pass rush.

I think they should deactivate Aaron Rodgers. He hasn't done ANYTHING all year...
