More Banjo: @ Bears Week 4

[Patler]

I don't understand why the Packers roster is at 52. Why didn't they call up Jumal Rolle and not lose him to Houston? I don't get. It's not to save a small chunk of salary, is it?

I haven't even seen speculation about why. My only guess is uncertainty about a current injury.

They are relatively healthy, so there isn't much need to fill the spot with a guy who will be inactive every game anyway.
As for Rolle, they have 6 healthy corners on the roster now, not much need for a 7th.

Besides, this will give them a roster spot to activate Tretter in a few weeks without having to release anyone.

Good place to start the speculation, though it is early. I would also suspect there is no one they are convinced they need to pick up.

Pretty crazy that the whole defensive backfield is healthy! The 6th CB, Goodson, has he dressed yet? The Packers kept him, now at the expense of Rolle, who looked a lot better in the pre-season, I wonder what the plans are for bringing him along now that he's healthy.

We also haven't seen much of Richardson, who I thought would be on the field a lot more, but seems to be behind Burnett
