Obviously, some things will change between now and then.

The Packers aren’t afraid to sign free agents (especially in non-compensatory free agency, which will start on Monday), trade for players or pick players up off waivers/practice squads. As of right now, here’s our best guess at what Green Bay’s final roster will look like after training camp. Injuries We have to talk about injuries on the front end.

Based on the timelines that the team and players have given us, along with some historical precedent, it’s my assumption that every player other than edge defender Micah Parsons (ACL) and defensive lineman Jordon Riley (Achilles tear) will be ready by the start of training camp in 2026. Yes, that includes Tucker Kraft, Devonte Wyatt and Zach Tom, too. Here’s a full read on the injury situation if you want to go down that road .

Quarterbacks Jordan Love Desmond Ridder I think Desmond Ridder, who has 18 starts under his belt at the NFL level, has the inside lane on the backup quarterback job ahead of Kyle McCord, a 2025 draft pick the Packers signed to a reserve/futures deal, and undrafted rookie Kyron Drones . On the topic of Drones, I think Green Bay brought him in to simulate some of these mobile quarterbacks in training camp/practices in general. They usually complain about having to split reps four ways with quarterbacks, but Drones brings the team a different element than Jordan Love, Ridder or McCord from a mobility standpoint.
