Back in June I posted a way, way too early roster prediction. Let’s see how things are shaping up with half of training camp and the preseason in the books. I’ve ranked players roughly according to depth chart position. And, as always, I take a shot at naming ten players currently on the roster who the Packers might attempt to retain on the practice squad.
Quarterbacks:
Aaron Rodgers, Brett Hundley
Running Backs:
Eddie Lacy, James Starks, John Crockett
Fullback:
Aaron Ripkowski
Tight Ends:
Jared Cook, Richard Rodgers, Kennard Backman, Justin Perillo
Offensive Line:
David Bakhtiari, Josh Sitton, JC Tretter, TJ Lang, Bryan Bulaga, Jason Spriggs, Kyle Murphy, Lane Taylor, Don Barclay
Wide Receivers:
Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, Jared Abbrederis, Ty Montgomery, Trevor Davis
Defensive Line:
Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Letroy Guion, Dean Lowry, Christian Ringo*
*Mike Pennel does not count against the roster for the first four games of the season due to suspension. I still suspect that Ringo will be waived to make room for Pennel when he returns.
Outside Linebackers:
Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, Nick Perry, Datone Jones, Jayrone Elliott, Kyler Fackrell, Lerentee McCray
Inside Linebackers:
Sam Barrington, Blake Martinez, Jake Ryan, Carl Bradford
Cornerbacks:
Sam Shields, Damarious Randall, Quinten Rollins, Ladarius Gunter, Josh Hawkins
Safeties:
Morgan Burnett, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Chris Banjo, Micah Hyde
Special Teams:
Mason Crosby, Tim Mathsay, Rick Lovato
IR: Corey Linsley, Jeff Janis
Practice Squad:
Joe Callahan (QB), Brandon Burks (RB), Lucas Patrick (G), Geronimo Allison (WR), Brian Price (DT), Reggie Gilbert (LB), Robertson Daniel (CB), Randall Jette (CB), Kentrell Brice (S), Marwin Evans (S),

You have Bryan Bulaga on both IR and Active Roster – did you mean to do this?
I’m on board except Joe Thomas ILB will be on the team. They will scratch Bradford or an OLB to keep him. He’s proven he can play nickle package.
