Cheese Curds, 5/20: Packers fans will get a look at depth chart as OTAs begin

The long wait is officially over. Today, the Green Bay Packers begin their Organized Team Activities practices, marking the first time that the 2019 team will be practicing in its entirety.

With new head coach Matt LaFleur in the fold, the team did hold a veteran minicamp just before the draft, while the usual rookie minicamp took place a week later. But now, with the entire 90-man roster solidified, it’s time to kick off the real practices that will carry this group through the next four weeks.

Monday’s practice will be a closed session, but keep in mind that Tuesday will be open to the public. Click here for more details, but keep in mind that the practice will take place at a different field than the usual one thanks to some construction activities.

As OTAs get underway, the usual questions arise about how much to read into them and what aspects are actually useful for learning about the 2019 team. That is the subject of one of today’s curds, but most of the beat writers are in agreement that any struggles early on should not be a cause for significant concern. It’s how the starting lineups shake out that will be the most relevant parts of the next few weeks.

Check out that and a bunch of information on this year’s draft class in today’s curds.
