Cheese Curds, 9/1: Packers face decision time with preseason complete

After posting a 3-1 record in the 2017 preseason, the Green Bay Packers now have to make some of their toughest decisions of the season. NFL teams must cut their rosters down from 90 players to 53 by 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday, giving them less than 48 hours from the conclusion of Thursday’s games to do so.

The Packers have questions not just about which players to keep but also regarding how many players at various positions to hold on to. They have four tailbacks who made excellent cases for making the team, while a few injuries on defense complicate things on that side of the ball.

For now, the roster sits at 87 players since Ahmad Brooks hasn ot officially signed his contract yet. Therefore, the team will need to find a way to get down to 52 before signing him.

You can see our final 53-man predictions here, and we will all eagerly await the final roster.

The three draft picks all did their part in the second half of the game, getting some help from an offensive line that had a few solid series. All told, Williams' job on the roster is safe and both Aaron Jones and Devante Mays had excellent moments that bolstered their cases for a spot on the 53.
