Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur will use the information and evaluations gained from a full training camp, two joint practices and three preseason games to help guide the difficult decisions necessary to trim the team’s roster to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon’s deadline.
While a couple dozen players will be released over the next two days, many will return on the team’s 16-player practice squad. After the waiver period expires on Wednesday, the Packers can start building out the practice squad.

Before the Packers start making cuts, here’s a rundown of the toughest decisions facing Gutekunst and LaFleur before Tuesday.
One day before the cut deadline, the Packers traded a seventh-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for quarterback Malik Willis, a 2022 third-rounder who is now expected to be Jordan Love’s backup.
