Part 7 of our 90-to-1 countdown of the Green Bay Packers’ roster includes a pair of veteran additions, Greg Joseph and Andre Dillard, and a pair of fourth-round picks, Colby Wooden and Evan Williams, as well as Brenton Cox.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers will take a 90-man roster to the field for the first practice of training camp on July 22.
“Things just didn’t quite pan out the way that me and the coaches would have liked,” Dillard said at minicamp. “It wasn’t a great fit all around for everybody. Things happen. This is a crazy league. You never know. Whatever happens, just got to put one foot in front of the other and just keep going.”
However, after Enagbare suffered an injured ACL in the playoff win at Dallas, the Packers elevated Keshawn Banks from the practice squad and made Cox an inactive for the playoff loss at San Francisco. So, Cox’s season ended with him playing in four games and logging just four snaps on defense. Cox is the clear front-runner for a potential fifth spot on the 53. When LaFleur split into two groups, with the starters and key backups on the north end of the practice field and everyone else on the south end, Cox was with Gary and Co. on the north side.
This will be a big camp for Wooden. Last year, Kenny Clark, Devonte Wyatt, TJ Slaton, Brooks and Wooden played all 17 games together. All five players are back. Wooden will have to prove he’s worthy of taking someone’s playing time.After Anders Carlson struggled as a rookie, Joseph, Carlson and James Turner will compete in a three-man battle in training camp.
“He’s been an indoor kicker now for a while, so being here is a little bit interesting,” special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia said before the start of OTAs. “In our conversation with him, he hasn’t played well . So, him playing in these conditions is a little bit different for him, as well. He’s got a tremendous leg.”“Obviously, it’s one of the most historic stadiums in the league,” he said.
