Perhaps the most surprising note on the Packers roster is that they have decided to keep three quarterbacks — Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzien will sit behind Aaron Rodgers on the depth chart.
This marks the first time since 2008 that the Packers have had three rosters entering Week 1.
To get to 53 players, the Packers released S Chris Banjo, WR Kevin Dorsey, LB Jake Doughty, T John Fullington, C Garth Gerhart, WR Alex Gillett, DT Carlos Gray, RB Michael Hill, LB Adrian Hubbard, G Jordan McCray, S Tanner Miller, TE Justin Perillo, RB LaDarius Perkins, DE Luther Robinson, CB Jumal Rolle, T Jeremy Vujnovich, WR Myles White and CB Ryan White.
Green Bay also placed T Aaron Adams, LB Nate Palmer, TE Jake Stoneburner and DT Khyri Thornton on injured reserve.
Four players who finished last season on the Packers roster did not make the 53-man cut, with LB Nate Palmer and TE Jake Stoneburner placed on IR, and S Chris Banjo and CB Jumal Rolle being released.
