It's (preseason) game week. On Friday, the Green Bay Packers are finally back on the field to play a game and, while it isn't exactly meaningful for record purposes, it has real ramifications for the roster, especially fringe players, and possibly for the future of the franchise.
The Packers face the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Friday, 7:30 p.m. (CDT), and it's an important step to build the initial 53-man roster. On August 16, the roster needs to be cut from 90 to 85 players, so the implications are obvious. Furthermore, there are position battles and depth questions to be analyzed.
