Green Bay Packers: 5 Players with something to prove vs. Raiders
2. J’Mon Moore, WR
We’ve seen a number of Green Bay Packers wide receivers step up throughout the preseason to this point. Allen Lazard, Darrius Shepherd and Jake Kumerow have really shown out over the first two exhibition games for the Pack. J’Mon Moore, however, has not made as much of an impact as many have hoped.
While Moore has a touchdown reception in the preseason to his credit, he also has only two catches for seven yards. No one is questioning the talent of the 2018 fourth-round pick but what can be questioned is how that talent translates in actual games. To this point, it just hasn’t on any kind of consistent basis. And with an increasingly impressive wide receiver room, that could put Moore’s roster spot in jeopardy.
1. Curtis Bolton, ILB
Through the first two weeks of the preseason, the linebacker position for the Green Bay Packers has gotten muddled, largely due to the Oren Burks injury. In light of that, the Pack is looking for the likes of Ty Summers and Curtis Bolton to step up and prove themselves. The latter, at this point, has done more to establish his position on the roster firmly.

Bolton has been phenomenal through the first two exhibition games, registering eight total tackles for the Green Bay defense. He’s been all over the field and seems to have a nose for how to make plays. With Burks out and Summers being a bit of a rollercoaster, another rock-steady performance from Bolton could put him in line for a starting job come the regular season.
