Green Bay’s influx of young skill position players seems so far an indicator that this year’s roster cutdown could be among the most competitive in recent memory.

At wide receiver, the logjam presents itself deep in the depth chart, after starters Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Randall Cobb. Jeff Janis won’t go away quietly, making a pair of splash plays this week while receiving a vote of confidence from head coach Mike McCarthy regarding his special teams value. Geronimo Allison has been an improved player in camp, which figures to help offset the tarnish of his ensuing one-game suspension.
