What’s in store for the Packers as preseason comes to a close?
Pete Dougherty joins Dominique Yates to talk the state of the Packers after they close preseason with a 20-7 win over the Seahawks.
GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers‘ initial 53-man roster gets finalized Tuesday, Aug. 26, ahead of their 2025 season opener against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 7.
Some of those cuts might come Monday, Aug. 25.
After a month of training camp practices and three preseason games, tough decisions will be made by Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst.
How many quarterbacks will the Packers carry? How many wide receivers will they keep? How will the Packers sort out the running back depth chart? Who will provide depth on the offensive line and how does the reported trade for lineman Darian Kinnard impact the final cuts?
The roster deadline is 3 p.m. Aug. 26. Many of the players cut could find their way back to Green Bay as members of the practice squad. Gutekunst can re-sign 16 players to the practice squad starting at 11 a.m. Aug. 27.
