Packers Make Roster Cuts Ahead of 2022 Season

Green Bay Trims Roster to 53 Players

The Green Bay Packers have made their final roster cuts ahead of the 2022 regular season, trimming their roster to the NFL-mandated 53 players. The team announced the moves on Tuesday, August 30th, following a rigorous preseason that saw the Packers finish with a 1-3 record.

Notable Cuts

Among the most notable cuts were wide receiver Amari Rodgers, who was a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and running back Kylin Hill, who was a seventh-round pick in the same draft. Both players failed to make a significant impact during the preseason and were deemed expendable by the coaching staff.

Camp Standouts

Despite the roster cuts, several players stood out during training camp and the preseason. Rookie wide receiver Christian Watson, a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, impressed with his speed and playmaking ability, and is expected to contribute immediately. Defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, another rookie, also had a strong preseason and could see significant playing time this season.

Roster Outlook

The Packers' roster now features a mix of veteran leadership and young talent. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is entering his 18th season with the team and is still considered one of the best in the NFL. The offense also features running back Aaron Jones, wide receiver Davante Adams, and tight end Robert Tonyan. The defense is led by cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker Rashan Gary.

Regular Season Schedule

The Packers will open the regular season on Sunday, September 11th, when they host the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field. The team will then travel to Chicago to face the Bears in Week 2 before returning home to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3. The Packers have a challenging schedule this season, but they are confident that they can compete for a Super Bowl title.
