Bill Huber at Scout.com says Randall in the lead for dime back job.
http://www.scout.com/nfl/packers/story/1570733Randall has made a play or two at every practice to vault ahead of second-round pick Quinten Rollins, who had a strong offseason but missed the first three practices of training camp due to his hamstring. Randall has joined Shields, Hayward and Hyde in the dime.
Should also note Randall has played both outside spots. Rollins hasn't yet, he's been inside at slot CB.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Randall is dime. Rollins is slot, behind Hyde in the depth chart. That's directly from SPH. Wonder how camp might change that. Will have to see where they put Rollins during PS games...Originally Posted by pbmax

I'm sure Rollin's primary role, ideally anyway, is backup slot to Hyde. And that's probably where he gets his first reps in preseason. But later in the game he will get his shot outside
Question is this: if Shields, Hayward and Hyde are healthy, does Randall have a role? They seem to be grooming him for a lot of ST work.
Rollins actually has a straighter line to Game Day reps on Defense.

On this team? Just wait a few seconds. Shields and Hyde get injured on every other play - almost as often as Terry Glenn. Randall will play on the outside in the dime (which probably means a decent amount of time) and in relief.

Entirely plausible.
I do like that the top pick AND a UDFA (Gunner/Gunter) seem to be stepping up and that there is still time for Rollins to come through as he missed very little camp. Makes the DB depth chart seem less shaky right now.

Nelson has another perspective on AR's interceptions:
Just as Rodgers’ decisions may be different in camp than they would be in a real game, so might the receivers’ actions, according to veteran Jordy Nelson. He explained that a 50-50 ball in camp can put a receiver in a tough spot, because he’s always going to try to make the catch no matter what, whereas in a game, a receiver in a disadvantageous position might break up the pass and make sure it’s not picked off.
Right now, in early August, no one is going to give up the chance to shine, especially when on the field with the two-time MVP.
