Things to watch for Packers during roster cutdowns

The Green Bay Packers will go from 80 players on the roster to just 53 by 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. GM Brian Gutekunst has 27 cuts to make over the next few hours.

Here’s a couple of things to watch today as the Packers reduce their roster to 53 players:

Dexter Williams is a talented young running back with some explosive, one-cut ability and big potential in the Matt LaFleur offense. But he’s stuck in a deep position group and might not have a spot. If the Packers truly want to use Tyler Ervin as a receiver, maybe Williams makes it as the fourth running back behind Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams and A.
