Green Bay Packers final 53-man roster prediction after training camp

Green Bay Packers 53-man roster prediction, Defense

DL (5): Kenny Clark, Dean Lowry, Kingsley Keke, Tyler Lancaster, Treyvon Hester

The obvious omission from this list is defensive tackle Montravius Adams. The former third-round pick is dealing with a toe injury and has missed the last two weeks of training camp. Coupled with some off-field issues, Adams is likely the odd man out.

OLB (5): Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, Rashan Gary, Tim Williams, Johnathan Garvin

The Smiths and Gary are automatic locks. Gary has shown all throughout training camp why he was taken in the first round last year. Williams has shown ability as a special teams contributor. Garvin, a rookie seventh-rounder, makes the squad as a depth piece.

ILB (4): Christian Kirksey, Oren Burks, Kamal Martin, Ty Summers

Martin is likely to be out for six to eight weeks, but the team must have him on the initial 53-man roster in order to bring him back from injured reserve later this season. It’s time for Burks and Summers to show their true worth.

CB (6): Jaire Alexander, Kevin King, Chandon Sullivan, Josh Jackson, Ka’dar Hollman, Stanford Samuels

Not many surprises here, except for Stanford Samuels. The undrafted rookie free agent has been a constant contributor in camp. His cover skills aren’t a question — it’s the athleticism that had scouts worried back in April.

S (5): Adrian Amos, Darnell Savage, Will Redmond, Raven Greene, Vernon Scott

Amos and Savage will form a very capable starting duo. Redmond makes the squad as a special teams ace. Greene could fill in as a dime linebacker. And Scott has shown ability on special teams in camp.

Special Teams (3): Mason Crosby, J.K. Scott, Hunter Bradley

No surprises, all three special teams contributors from 2019 will be back for this coming season. Crosby kicks, Scott punts and Bradley snaps.
