The first round of roster trimming is this week. This morning I counted 88 names on the roster here: http://www.packers.com/team/players.html By 4pmEDT Tuesday the Packers must submit 13 roster moves to the league. The first is easy. Linsley stays on PUP and I don't think he counts anymore against the roster until activated. The next 12 get tricky near the end. I don't know the extent of the injuries from the last game and if some of those held out will be healthy enough to give it a go. I don't expect anyone going to IR yet but if someone was more seriously injured Friday night, that will save a roster spot. My WAG:
Say good bye to C-Jacob Flores if he will not be healthy enough to play Thurs night. If he is, C-Kyle Stueck is gone. One of the two stays to play Thurs and Flores hasn't seen game action yet. CBs Gatewood and Jette, sayonara, as well as WRs Herb Waters, Jamel Johnson, Ed Williams. If OG-Walker is good to go, OG Patrick is gone. LBs Benny Brown, Gilbert and D, Matthews join them. TE Casey Pierce leaves with RB Ross. Ross goes only if Crockett can play. NT Anderson and S Evans are next off the team if some of the injured replacement guys need to hang around for the last game or I was misinformed about Linsley.
