Five Takeaways From The Packers First Depth Chart

The Green Bay Packers have released their first depth chart of the season.

Of course, there are a lot of things to digest, camp battles that were won and lost.

Ultimately, this depth chart is like the 53-man roster. The situations are fluid.

This one has a little extra juice because of what this weekend represents.

In case you’ve lived under a rock, the NFL season starts this weekend.

The Packers will be at home to host the Detroit Lions.

Today’s depth chart that was released should give us a look at the first 22 guys that will take the field on offense and defense.

With that in mind, here are five takeaways from the first depth chart of the season.

The New Guy

In case you haven’t heard by now, the Packers acquired Micah Parsons last week in exchange for two first-round draft picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.

Parsons is working on a ramp up period, but should be able to play on Sunday.

There was some question as to where the Packers would play Parsons, but he is listed officially as a defensive end.

Realistically, the answer for Parsons as to where he’s going to play is “defense”, because of his positional versatility.

He was an off-ball linebacker coming out of Penn State. He’s played on the edge in Dallas, and will likely be there on almost all passing downs in Green Bay.
