If you’ve been following the Green Bay Packers’ roster over the last couple of weeks, two positions have stood out as potential weaknesses when it comes to the depth of the team: linebacker and the interior offensive line.
At linebacker, the team nearly had to go into their Thanksgiving night matchup against the Miami Dolphins with just three healthy linebackers — as starter Isaiah McDuffie was listed as questionable going into the game — including rookie Ty’Ron Hopper, who has only received defensive snaps in one career NFL game thus far. The Minnesota Vikings also plucked away former first-round pick Jamin Davis from the practice squad two days before Thanksgiving, which only put the team’s depth at the position more into question.
