Cutdown day in the National Football League always brings some surprises and when the Green Bay Packers unveiled their final 53-man roster Saturday, that proved to be true.
For the most part, the Packers roster was fairly predictable, but few expected Green Bay to keep just five wide receivers or on the other hand, 10 offensive lineman.
In the past, the Packers have generally kept eight or nine offensive lineman. However, thanks to the injury to Don Barclay, Green Bay is perilously thin at the position, which forced to team to keep 10 hogs up front, even if all 10 won’t be on the final roster when the team plays Seattle at Lambeau next Sunday.
