Packers' 53-man roster projection: Still looking for linebackers

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers will cut their roster to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Saturday. Here’s a projection:

Boyle has outplayed Kizer and should be the No. 2. It’s possible that they could keep only two quarterbacks, but that would mean general manager Brian Gutekunst would have to give up on Kizer less than 18 months after he traded for him.

Carson is far more ready to help the Packers today, which gives him the nod over rookie Dexter Williams. Considering teams passed on Williams until the sixth round and he’s done nothing to distinguish himself in the preseason, there’s little reason to fear another team might claim him, so the Packers can probably get him back on the practice squad.
