Training camp is here, and with it comes one of the most fun parts to follow — filling out the roster. Over the next month and a half, we'll all be watching guys battle it out to secure those final few roster spots. The Packers are in a strong position — their starting lineup is close to locked in, and they have depth at a lot of different spots. But there will be some real battles brewing at a few key positions for those last few jobs.

Green Bay has some intriguing questions to sort out over the next month. Who rounds out a crowded receiver room behind the four established names? Which offensive linemen separate themselves in a group that's nine or ten deep? With Micah Parsons starting the season on PUP, who steps up to fill the pass-rush void? And what ends up happening in the secondary?

These aren't just camp battles for camp battles' sake — how they shake out will shape this roster heading into Week 1. Let's dig into four position groups where there are several roster spots still up for grabs.

Who Secures the Final Wide Receiver Spots?

The Packers typically keep five or six receivers on their initial 53-man roster, and four of those spots are already spoken for. Christian Watson (four years, $92 million) and Jayden Reed (three years, $50.25 million) cashed in with big extensions this offseason and are locked in as fixtures in the offense. Second-year guys Matthew Golden and Savion Williams are also primed for bigger roles. That leaves one, maybe two spots up for grabs — and a handful of guys fighting to claim them.

Bo Melton is in a strong position for one of them. He's never been the most talented receiver on the roster, but that's not really the point with Melton anymore. The Packers spent all of last training camp lining him up at cornerback — an experiment that didn't move the needle defensively, but turned him into a legit Swiss Army knife. He can spell guys at receiver, fill in on defense if needed, and has become one of the team's best special teams players. It took the 2022 seventh-round pick a while to find his niche, but he's found it in Green Bay.

Not to mention, the whole organization loves him. "Bo is one of us," Matt LaFleur said last season. "He's made of the right stuff. He's a G... everybody's excited when they score, but I don't know if you guys saw the sidelines and just how everybody reacted when he scored that touchdown. They were fired up for Bo. You know what you're going to get every time — you're going to get his absolute best." That's about as strong an endorsement as a roster-bubble guy can get heading into camp.

Skyy Moore is in a good spot too, and for a much simpler reason: he can actually return kicks. The Packers signed him to a one-year, $2.5 million deal this spring, and it addresses a problem that’s plagued Green Bay for years — the return game. The Packers finished dead last in punt return average (5.6 yards) and tied for 22nd in kickoff returns (25.2) last season. Moore offers something nobody else on this roster can, and the team backed that up by guaranteeing him $1 million, a significant number for a depth piece. Moore will still have to earn the job, but his ability to impact multiple phases should put him in a strong position.

Isaiah Neyor is more of a longshot, but he's not just a camp body anymore. He went undrafted in 2025, didn't even join the team until midway through camp, and still managed to stick on the practice squad all year — and even got elevated for the playoff game. Nearly a full year into his time in Green Bay, the development is showing. "I'd say it's night and day for him," LaFleur said. "He's really shown a lot of flashes of excellence. He's another big, long guy that can run. You can never have enough of those guys, especially at that position." A strong camp could turn that flash into a roster spot.

Then there's J. Michael Sturdivant, who probably has the toughest climb of the group — but don't count him out. He went undrafted this spring despite carrying draftable grades from plenty of scouts, and it's easy to see why teams were intrigued: 4.40 in the 40, a 39-inch vertical, a 10'11" broad jump, and a ridiculous 9.96 RAS. Green Bay backed up its interest with $215,000 guaranteed at signing. He'll need a genuinely strong camp to crack the roster, but the athletic profile gives him a real shot at doing it.

New Faces in the Trenches?

The starting five are already penciled in: Jordan Morgan, Aaron Banks, Sean Rhyan, Anthony Belton, and Zach Tom. Add Jager Burton and Darian Kinnard to that group as near-locks, and you've got seven spots accounted for. After that, it's anyone's guess. The Packers typically keep nine or ten offensive linemen on the 53-man roster, so there could be a real battle brewing for those final two or three jobs.

This might be make-or-break time for Donovan Jennings and Jacob Monk. Both are heading into their third camp in Green Bay, and neither has developed the way the team probably hoped. Monk brings some versatility — he can back up all three interior spots — while Jennings is more strictly a guard. Neither has done enough yet to be trusted with real regular-season snaps, and it might take a genuinely strong camp from either one to stick around for a fourth year. At this point, what you see might be what you get with these two, and Green Bay can probably find better.

Travis Glover is a name worth watching. The 2024 sixth-round pick was in position to make the team last summer before a shoulder injury wiped out his season before it started. The staff liked what they saw — he took reps at guard and tackle both. "He is an ascending player," LaFleur said of Glover last summer. "It was very disappointing that we won't have him." Gutekunst went further, calling the injury a "significant dent" and noting Glover was going to play all over the line. If he stays healthy through camp this time, he could be the favorite for one of the last spots up front.

Beyond that, it's genuinely a coin flip. Brant Banks, Dalton Cooper, and John Williams are all entering year two. Banks spent most of 2025 on the practice squad with a brief stint on the active roster; Cooper was practice-squad only, without seeing game action. Williams is the biggest wild card of the three — the seventh-round pick missed his entire rookie year with a back injury.

Then there's the undrafted trio: Dylan Barrett, Josh Gesky, and Dillon Wade, all interior linemen. Dane Brugler of The Athletic had draftable grades on both Gesky and Wade heading into the draft, and the Packers gave both $215,000 in guaranteed money to sign as undrafted free agents. Gesky in particular could be the sleeper of the group. All three have a steep climb to make the roster, but camp is where that kind of thing gets sorted out.

Can the Packers Find Their Edge?

The Packers need to find their edge — literally and figuratively. There are real question marks around the pass rush, starting with Micah Parsons likely opening the season on PUP and missing the first several weeks. Lukas Van Ness is expected to hold down one side, but after him, it's wide open who steps into a real role. Second-year man Barryn Sorrell and rookie Dani Dennis-Sutton are close to locks to make the team, but neither has proven they can be consistent contributors yet.

With Parsons out to start the year, Green Bay may need all the pass-rush depth it can get, which could push Brian Gutekunst to keep five or even six edge rushers instead of the usual four or five. That leaves two, maybe even three spots still open.

One candidate is fourth-year player Brenton Cox Jr. The former undrafted free agent signed with Green Bay in 2023 after a bumpy college career, and while opportunities have been limited, he's flashed real production when given the chance — four sacks in seven games during his best stretch in 2024. The issues are staying healthy and playing special teams. That's been the shakiest part of his game, and if he's not contributing there, it's hard to see the Packers carrying him purely as a situational pass rusher.

Arron Mosby is almost the polar opposite of Cox. The fifth-year player has stayed healthy and become a real fixture on special teams — 500 snaps across kick return, kick coverage, punt return, punt coverage, and field goal block over the last two seasons — but he hasn't made much of a dent defensively. He's proven his worth in one phase of the game; the question is whether that's enough to justify a roster spot when the position group is this deep.

The last two spots are true wild cards. Collin Oliver, a fifth-round pick last year, saw his entire rookie season derailed by injury and played just 31 defensive snaps. Nyjalik Kelly, meanwhile, signed as an undrafted rookie for $262,000 guaranteed — the biggest number the Packers gave any UDFA this year. Both had productive college careers and simply haven't had the runway to show it at this level. A strong camp from either one could mean not just making the roster, but playing real snaps once the season starts.

How the Cornerback Group Could Shake Out

The cornerback room is the one position group that's a complete mystery. The Packers bring back Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, both of whom were leaned on heavily last season — and neither was particularly great. Green Bay also added second-round pick Brandon Cisse and veteran Benjamin St-Juste, with hopes that one (or both) can eventually take over as a starter and raise the level of the group. Uncertainty aside, all four are roster locks. The Packers typically keep five corners, which means the rest of the room is fighting over a single spot.

Kamal Hadden is the top candidate for it. He spent 2024 on the practice squad before making the 53-man roster last season, and while he didn't get many defensive opportunities, he was turning heads in the building. "Kamal has made as much progress as any player we've had here," LaFleur said last November, shortly before an injury cut his season short. If he's back to full health and keeps trending the way he was, he has to be the favorite for that fifth corner spot.

Domani Jackson has a real shot too. The 2026 sixth-round pick started two years at Alabama and has the size and speed to match — he was a five-star recruit coming out of high school, after all. The knock on him, per Dane Brugler, is inconsistent eye discipline and some issues in short-area movement. If Jackson can show up to his first NFL camp, contribute on special teams, and flash the traits that made him a highly touted prospect, he could make a real push for the roster.

Shemar Bartholomew and MJ Devonshire are the dark horses. Both are entering year three after bouncing between practice squads for most of their careers so far. Green Bay brought Bartholomew in last December, while Devonshire was claimed off waivers in May. Year three could just be confirmation of what they are at this point — but it only takes one strong camp to change that.

Then there's rookie Marlon Jones, an undrafted free agent Green Bay signed in May. Jones is one of the better stories in this camp — he battled Stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma and had to sit out the 2024 season, then came back to football in 2025. He was only a part-time player at Vanderbilt, but that tracks given he was going through chemo instead of training. Now that he's healthy and fully focused on football again, it wouldn't be shocking to see him take a real step forward. He might just be a great camp story — but don't rule him out completely.
