Getting them to the practice squad will be risky business.
The Packers have to be down to a roster of 80 players by Tuesday of this week. Then comes the big hammer. 27 more have to come off the active list by August 30. A maximum of 16 will then be allowed on to the practice squad. That is, if you can get them through to the practice squad.
Most players cut must pass through waivers, and can be claimed by another team. This makes the roster cutdown process a little tricky. There are players on the team that Green Bay would love to keep and develop, but there’s no spot available for them in the top 53.
