The Green Bay Packers open the preseason schedule on Friday night in San Francisco against the 49ers. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers won’t play, leaving Jordan Love to start, but Rodgers won’t be the only starter not playing. Expect Matt LaFleur to lean heavily on the backups. He needs players at certain positions to start separating from the pack and winning roster spots. There’s no better time to make an impression than when the lights come on in a game environment.
Here are 16 players on the roster bubble worth watching on Friday night:
RB Tyler Goodson: There’s a legit opportunity available at running back, where Kylin Hill remains on the PUP list and Patrick Taylor missed time with a groin injury.
