GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have to trim their roster to 53 players by 3 p.m. Tuesday. General manager Brian Gutekunst’s work might not be limited to reducing the roster by 27. In fact, he might be shopping to bolster a few positions.
Outside linebacker: The Packers have a big-time trio with Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith and Rashan Gary. That Za’Darius Smith has practiced only once due to a back issue is worrisome because the depth is nonexistent. Position coach Mike Smith has raved about the potential of 2020 seventh-round pick Jonathan Garvin and 2020 undrafted free agent Tipa Galeai.
