Packers OTAs Start Today; Here Are Projected Depth Charts
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The march toward the 2024 NFL season opener in Brazil will start on Monday when the Green Bay Packers kick off three weeks of OTAs.
Below are projected depth charts for the nine organized team activities, which are voluntary practices. They are based on last year’s depth charts and performances, how the players lined up at rookie camp and a bit of guesswork.
Just as OTAs mark a starting point toward the season with the first 11-on-11 drills of the year, the depth charts are only a starting point as players battle for starting jobs, key roles or spots on the roster. Those roles will have to be earned; it will not be a coronation. Thus, based on precedent under coach Matt LaFleur, rookies such as Javon Bullard and Edgerrin Cooper probably will not line up with the starters on Monday.
