Who’s that guy wearing number 59? What number is rookie cornerback Josh Jackson? Why are there two players wearing 36? What’s a Joel Bouagnon?
These are questions that may come up for Green Bay Packers fans during the team’s preseason-opening game this evening against the Tennessee Titans. The team’s active roster currently sits at 89 players, and something like half of those players were not on the 53-man roster at the end of 2017.
The first preseason game should see little to no playing time for the starters — and therefore the most recognizable players — and so it’s time to get to know the guys on the back half of the roster.
