This is a very young team.

I gotta think they are going to put Tenuta on IR tomorrow. Carrying 11 OL is a LOT of linemen and they need to move someone for Orzech.
Carrying 4 CB and 3 TE is unexpected too. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another move happening this week at TE. I'm guessing they will sign Ballentine and they want Austin Allen back on the PS, they could call them up a couple times too and then let injuries etc. sort out the rest. Stokes on PUP buys some time.

Bisaccia is going to earn his paycheck this year.

Here's the initial roster. Matt Orzech will be signed tomorrow, with someone cut or placed on IR.

Tenuta will go to IR and probably someone else. Need a LS and a 5th Corner.

[Joemailman]

My stab at the 53/69 man roster:

QB (2) Love, Clifford
RB (3) Jones, Dillon, Taylor
WR (6) Watson, Doubs, Toure, Reed, Wicks, Heath
TE (4) DeGuara, Musgrave, Kraft, Waiver Pickup
OL (9) Bakhtiari, Jenkins, Myers, Runyan, Tom, Walker, Nijman, Rhyan, Jones

DL (6) Clark, Slaton, Wyatt, Wooden, Brooks, Ford
LB (4) Campbell, Walker, McDuffie, Carpenter
EDGE (6) Gary, Smith, Van Ness, Enagbare, Hollins, Cox
CB (5) Alexander, Ballentine, Douglas, Nixon, Valentine
S (5) Ford, Gaines, Johnson, Leavitt, Savage

ST (3) Carlson, O'Donnell, Orzech

Pup: Stokes

Traded: Newman

Practice Squad:

McGough
Tyler Goodson, Emanuel Wilson
Jadakis Bonds, Grant DuBose, Cody Chrest
Austin Allen
Cole Schneider, Kadeem Telfort, Luke Tenuta
Chris Slayton
Eric Wilson
Kiondre Thomas
Tarvarius Moore, Jonathan Owens
Daniel Whelan

QB: Got it right
RB: Gute went with Wilson over Taylor
WR: Got it right
TE: I had Gute getting waiver wire pickup. Could happen yet.
OL: I didn't have Newman or Tenuta making it. Tenuta may go to IR tomorrow.
DL: Got it right
LB: Gute kept Wilson and went with 5.
EDGE: Got it right.
CB: I had Ballentine making it.
S: I had Gaines instead of Owens
ST: I had O'Donnell over Whelan

I don't know if they'll add a 5th corner. They might just activate guys off PS until Stokes is back.

With an average roster age of 24.9 years old, the 2023 Packers are the youngest NFL roster in the last six years!*

(the last team to be younger was the 2017 browns who went 0-16…)

@jasonjwilde

The average age of the 53 players currently on the #Packers roster is 24.98 years old. Broken down by age:

31 — 1
30 — 2
29 — 2
28 — 4
27 — 4
26 — 6
25 — 8
24 — 9
23 — 10
22 — 6
21 — 1

I was overwhelmed with sadness when I saw that Rolled Royce made the team.

I was surprised they kept Luke TheTuna, but it sounds as if he'll be put on IR.

A little surprised they kept five inside linebackers.

Bisaccia is going to earn his money this year, and I'll bet he went to bat hard for Leavitt, because he needs someone out on the field who can get the team lined up correctly.

I'm hoping Dubose will land on the PS.

Damn that's a young team. I hope the medical staff is loading up on acne cream.

[texaspackerbacker]

Did anybody else read the article about how they handled the Orzech situation?

The O Lineman that got hurt, Tenuta, should be medically able to come back in a few weeks. By keeping him on the 53 and IRing him tomorrow, they can take him off IR in 4 weeks - if they put him on IR today, he'd be lost for the season. So they keep him then IR him tomorrow and bring back Orzech to the 53. A pretty slick move.

It's not an uncommon tactic. The key is to make sure the guy you cut is not going to be claimed. LS is a pretty good option for that, as all other teams are going to have one, and they most likely don't want to make a change now and disrupt their field goal unit.

Mailman did mention something about Orzech amid the white noises about Cody Chrest and the Packers being the first team in the NFL since 1962 to field an all-white TE corps.

Royce is on the team due to a lack of depth at guard. They only kept 4 ILB, as Levitt is the 4 ST specialist not a ILB. DuBose won't get claimed, but he might go for the PS on a team that isn't so deep and young at WR.

Leavitt is a S, not an ILB.

[MadtownPacker]

Or maybe I was kidding around.

No man you are right, Bobble is playing 4D checkers.

Huge fan of the youth movement. Long overdue! Maybe now we won’t see the offense get abused by physical teams.

Inside linebackers: Walker, Campbell, McDuffie, Wilson, Carpenter.
