Thursday Cheese Curds: With no preseason, the underdogs on the Packers roster face an uphill battle

Never tell them the odds.

Every year during training camp and the preseason, there is usually a great underdog story or two. Somebody, buried deep in the initial depth chart, comes out of nowhere and turns heads in practice and especially during preseason games.

This year, thanks to there being no preseason thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, those stories are likely to be in short supply. That’s not to say teams aren’t finding a way to give younger and unknown players a shot, however.

In the case of the Green Bay Packers, this means live scrimmages at Lambeau Field and more meetings.
