Cheese Curds, 8/24: On Vince Biegel’s recovery & shaking up the Packers’ offensive line

Although the Green Bay Packers have seen a few players come on and off the practice field during training camp due to injury, no single injury so far has the potential to be more impactful than the one Bryan Bulaga suffered on Wednesday. One of the few question mark on the Packers’ offense is the depth on the offensive line, and with Bulaga’s health now uncertain for the start of the season, the team appears likely to need to dip into that depth for the starting lineup.

If they do so, there’s not even a certainty which second-year pro will be taking those starting snaps, as a pair of players — Kyle Murphy and Jason Spriggs — are candidates to take over the job. One has been earning praise for a good camp, while the other has struggled mightily in preseason games.

Meanwhile, the team also is dealing with a rookie draft pick who has been going through struggles of his own. Kofi Amichia was always looked at as a long-term project after being drafted out of USF, but that project may take a bit longer than coaches and fans had hoped.

While the offensive line is dealing with injuries, the defense looks primed to get a few contributors back on the field soon. Fourth-round pick Vince Biegel has been eagerly awaiting his debut for the Packers after starting the preseason on the PUP list, and although the regular-season PUP is an option, signs are pointing to the team doctors clearing him before week one.

Check out those items and much more in today’s curds.

While Murphy looks to lock up the backup right tackle job and Jason Spriggs tries to bounce back from a rough pair of preseason games, Amichia — the lone offensive lineman in this year’s draft class — has been struggling mightily. It appears that he’s now behind rookie UDFA Geoff Gray and would be more likely to be on the Packers’ practice squad than the 53.
