The clock is absolutely ticking for the Green Bay Packers. We’re all refreshing our feeds like crazy, waiting for those final roster cuts to hit for the 53-man active roster by Sunday at 5 pm CT. This deadline doesn’t even count players who are suspended or already on injury lists, so the math gets wild.
Who’s In, Who’s Out?
After that preseason finale on Friday night, which was mostly reserves out there, everyone’s got their own predictions about the team. What do you think, who actually makes the squad? We’re all discussing this cutdown, trying to piece together the puzzle.
That IR Play Just Got Way More Interesting
Here’s the real X factor this year: whether Green Bay actually uses both of their injured reserve designations with that designated-to-return tag. This rule is a game changer, letting them place two players straight on IR without needing to waive them first. The wild part? There don’t appear to be too many candidates right now; Green Bay seems relatively healthy. But get this, the IR timeline overlaps with Micah Parsons not being on the field. You gotta wonder how short-handed the Packers can afford to be in the first month or so of the season, right? It’s a strategic move they could totally leverage.
The suspense is real until Sunday evening. Drop your own 53-man roster predictions in the comments below. Let’s talk about it!
