Member » The list of inactive players for the Green Bay Packers’

week two matchup with the Minnesota Vikings is here. and Packers fans got some great news. Left tackle David Bakhtiari is not on the list Rashan Gary Jersey , meaning that he will be active and will start in today’s game.This is critical for Green Bay’s offense in this week two matchup. Bakhtiari will likely match up with Everson Griffen for much of the game, and the three-time Pro Bowl defensive end has had some great battles with Bakhtiari over the years. The Vikings, meanwhile, will be without at least one key players in their secondary. Slot cornerback Mackensie Alexander was ruled out on Friday’s injury report, and will be inactive, joined by fellow cornerback Mike Hughes. However Vince Biegel Color Rush Jersey , two members of the Minnesota starting lineup are also out, after being listed as questionable on Friday. Those players are linebacker Ben Gedeon and left guard Pat Elflein. That likely leaves the Vikings to start second-year pro Eric Wilson for Gedeon and veteran backup lineman Dakota Dozier for Elflein.Packers InactivesILB Oren BurksCB Ka’Dar HOllmanDT Kingsley KekeOL Cole MadisonOL Lucas PatrickWR Darrius ShepherdRB Dexter WilliamsVikings InactivesCB Mackensie Alexander (ruled out on Friday)G Pat ElfleinLB Ben GedeonDT Jayln HolmesCB Mike HughesOT Oli UdohDT Armon Watts The Green Bay Packers’ 2018 offseason saw a significant brain drain in the team’s front office. After Ted Thompson rode off into the sunset as a glorified area scout, Brian Gutekunst got the vacant general manager job and Eliot Wolf departed for the Cleveland Browns. Alonzo Highsmith went with him, as the team was deprived of two of its longtime personnel men in Gutekunst’s first year on the job.Today, however, an excellent scout with deep Packers ties is back on the market. The Raiders have reportedly fired general manager Reggie McKenzie Dexter Williams Jersey , who was never going to survive a power struggle with Jon Gruden for long. Gruden’s ten-year contract and significant sway over personnel decisions made that arrangement untenable from the beginning, and the surprise is only that it took until now for owner Mark Davis to release McKenzie of his duties. On Sunday, a report emerged that McKenzie was expected to leave after the season, but according to Ian Rapoport, the team has elected to move on from him immediately.Now, it’s time for Gutekunst and team president Mark Murphy to make a phone call and get him back to Green Bay.McKenzie served in the Packers’ front office for nearly two decades https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Antonio-Morrison-Jersey , starting as a scout in 1994 and working his way up to director of player personnel. In 2012, the Raiders hired McKenzie as their GM, and he purged a roster that was deep in salary cap hell and built it up to a high-water mark of 12-4 in 2016. That year, he won the NFL’s Executive of the Year award, largely due to that turnaround.Interestingly, Gutekunst held the director of player personnel job in Green Bay before he took over as GM. He and McKenzie worked together in the Packers’ front office for 13 years from 1999 through 2011 Quinten Rollins Jersey , and should therefore have a relationship already. Currently, the Packers have co-directors of player personnel in Jon-Eric Sullivan and John Wojciechowski. However, the team could easily bring McKenzie in as a consultant for the remainder of 2018 before reshuffling the deck in the offseason to clearly define roles and responsibilities moving forward. McKenzie is a shrewd talent evaluator, and he helped identify several exceptional draft picks in his tenure in Green Bay. The Browns should also be interested in McKenzie, since he worked with Wolf and current Cleveland GM John Dorsey in Green Bay as well. Hopefully the prospect of returning to Titletown would lead him back to the shores of Lake Michigan rather than Lake Erie.
