The Packers have already been forced to make some difficult roster cuts, but things are going to get tougher next week.
Green Bay must trim its 80-man roster to 53 by Tuesday afternoon.
That deadline is a week earlier than it has been in the past, and you can blame the shorter preseason schedule and the first-ever 17-game regular season for that.
A few Packer veterans are still trying to secure their jobs and a lot of young players are fighting hard for their first N-F-L roster spots.
The third and final preseason game coming up Saturday at Buffalo is the last chance for many of those players who are still on the so-called “bubble” to prove their worth.
