The Green Bay Packers are four days from its final preseason game, hosting the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. It is also a week from cutdown day which is next Tuesday.

Currently there are roster battles at every position. Yesterday Carter Semb took a look at the players who are all battling for spots on the 53-man roster before the Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions.

My prediction for the 53-man roster on next Tuesday’s cutdown day:

Quarterback (2): Jordan Love, Malik Willis

Jordan Love should be ready by Week 1 which means there’s only a need for two quarterbacks on the active roster. The Packers decide to try to add either Sean Clifford or Taylor Elgersma on the practice squad.

Running Back (3): Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson, Chris Brooks – MarShawn Lloyd to IR

MarShawn Lloyd’s injury from last Saturday will put him on the injured reserve to start the season. It is unfortunate that it’s likely that Lloyd will spend time in his first two seasons on IR, not ideal when you play a physically demanding position like running back. Brooks is the best pass blocker of the running backs.

Wide Receiver (6): Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Savion Williams, Malik Heath – Christian Watson (PUP)

Three of the six will have injury concerns for the first two games of the season. Malik Heath beats out Mecole Hardman for the final spot based on his ability to block in the run game and play special teams. Hardman hasn’t shown enough yet as a return man to earn a spot on the team. Christian Watson will start on the PUP with the hopes of playing after the bye in October.

Tight End (3): Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave, John FitzPatrick

John Fitzpatrick beats out Ben Sims for the final tight end spot. There’s also a chance Brian Gutenkunst adds a tight end from the outside next week like he’s done in the past, ie. Ben Sims in 2023.

Offensive Line (9):Jordan Morgan, Rasheed Walker, Aaron Banks, Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan, Zach Tom, Anthony Belton, Jacob Monk, Kadeem Telfort – John Williams (PUP)

The top seven linemen are set. The question marks are regarding the final two players. Gutekunst values his draft picks which gives the edge to Monk as the next interior player. I think Kadeem Telfort beats out Donovan Jennings for the last spot, with 7th-round pick John Williams starting the season on the PUP.

Defensive End (5): Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, Brenton Cox Jr, Kingsley Enagbare, Arron Mobsy – Barryn Sorrell (IR), Collin Oliver (PUP)

Barryn Sorrell had the look of a contributor at edge rusher, but a knee injury will likely have him starting on Injured Reserve with a designation to return. Fellow draft pick Collin Oliver will start on the PUP, as he has yet to practice during training camp. Arron Mosby will get the final edge rusher spot with injuries to the two rookies.

Defensive Tackle (6): Kenny Clark, Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, Kolby Wooden, Nazir Stackhouse, Warren Brinson

I have both Georgia defensive tackles making the roster, as well as 3rd-year tackle Kolby Wooden. Stackhouse and Brinson both add something different to the defensive tackle room, and Guteknust has made it clear in the past that he values young, defensive linemen.

Linebacker (6): Edgerrin Cooper, Quay Walker, Isaiah McDuffie, Ty’Ron Hopper, Kristian Welch, Isaiah Simmons,

Second-year Mike backer Ty’Ron Hopper showed potential in the win over the Colts, earning a spot for him. I think both Simmons and Welch make the team on their potential as backup linebackers and special teamers. It’s likely Simmons only sees the field on special teams and some special packages on defense.

Cornerback (5): Keisan Nixon, Carrington Valentine, Nate Hobbs, Bo Melton, Kalen King – Micah Robinson (PS)

I have Kalen King beating out Micah Robinson based on King being ahead of Robinson on the depth chart going into Saturday’s game against Seattle. Kamal Hadden and Corey Ballentine are also still in contention as the next cornerback to be put on the 53-man roster.

Safety (5): Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, Javon Bullard, Kitan Oladapo, Zayne Anderson

Zayne Anderson starts the season on the roster, unless his injuries are too severe, which could put him on injured reserve. I think Kitan Oladpo did enough to make the team as the next safety.

Specialists (3): Brandon McManus, Daniel Whelan, Matt Orzech

For the first time in recent memory, the three main specialists are very easy to predict on cutdown day. However, it is still anybody guess who the first choices to return punts and kickoffs will be.
