Packers Depth Chart Concerns

With just one week before the 2024 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers have signed former first-round pick Andre Dillard to compete as a swing tackle.

Injury Impact

Right tackle Zach Tom’s absence due to a pec injury provided Dillard with significant playing time, yet the team remains unconvinced about their Week 1 swing tackle being present on their current roster.

  • Dillard, competing against Caleb Jones and Kadeem Telfort, faces a tough uphill battle after disappointing evaluations.
  • The Packers also drafted sixth-round pick Travis Glover, clouds the roster situation further.
  • Dillard’s guaranteed salary hinges on his active roster status, raising questions about financial obligations.

Roster Adjustments Needed

The Packers must reassess their strategy for acquiring a swing tackle, potentially considering trades as they did earlier with quarterback Malik Willis. As teams reduce their rosters ahead of the deadline, the Packers will need to act swiftly if they aim to reinforce their offensive line.
