    Green Bay Packers Urged To Promote Veteran WR From Practice Squad

    The Green Bay Packers could look to the practice squad for WR

    It was not a good showing for the Green Bay Packers wide receivers in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. Aaron Rodgers was kept under 200 yards passing. The team-leading pass catcher was running back A.J. Dillion. Allen Lazard was out with injury, but the rest of the wide receivers were disappointing. One analyst thinks the Packers could look to the practice squad for help.

    Lazard’s return will alleviate some problems with the Packers’ passing game. However, the current depth chart is filled with young talent. Their young talent is something quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been frustrated with since training camp. Rodgers’ fears were vindicated in Week 1 when Christian Watson dropped a sure touchdown pass.

    One NFL writer has a solution for the Packers’ youthful woes at wide receiver. Chris Trapasso with CBS Sports thinks the Packers should look to promote wide receiver Travis Fulgham to the 53-man roster. Here’s what Trapasso had to say about the Packers practice squad member:

    Fulgham, man did he ever get a raw deal over the past few seasons. And we’re a game away from everyone in Wisconsin losing their minds about the youthful Packers receiving corps that’s not quite on the same page as Aaron Rodgers. Now, sure, Fulgham and Rodgers don’t have a connection. Yet. Fulgham is at least experienced and feels like a relative unknown Rodgers would gravitate toward after a couple of beautifully executed back-shoulder grabs.

    It wouldn’t hurt to try Fulgham

    It’s an interesting proposition for Fulgham to get the promotion from the practice squad. He has had one good year in the NFL. Fulgham led the Philadelphia Eagles in receiving yards in 2020. But he’s been bounced around the league to a few practice squads since 2020. This August, Fulgham was recently signed to the Packers practice squad after the Denver Broncos cut him.

    Fulgham is now in his fourth year in the NFL. The former sixth-round pick’s experience could help him gain Rodgers’ trust this season. The only worry is that he only had had one year of good ‘involvement as a starting wide receiver in the NFL. But that’s one year over Romeo Doubs and Watson. And a much better year than Amari Rodgers had in his rookie year.

      Except that it would hurt the young and developing receivers.

      Besides which, there are two experience veterans on the team who both contributed significantly in last night’s game.

      I don’t consider lazard to be as experienced of a veteran as those two, but exactly which spot would Fulgham take?

      He would displace a younger, and developing player who might have as much if not more talent than he does.

      Historical statistics should not be used as a measure for replacing the number for five or six receivers on the team. If they were, we could still be talking about the Packers considering Jerry Rice, or Randy Moss…

      I hate when packers get wr and they are either past their prime or not very good, they put to much on Aaron, there were an abundance of top WR this year and most could get with a 3rd or 4th round draft pick. Look at Brady , he’s got 5 WR better than anything we have, I think management is content on getting to playoffs and no further. If they would have done Aaron right they’d have justin Jefferson from that draft and not a qb that has done nothing since drafted, reminds me of Chicago and trubisky . If they can’t get Aaron 2 top 10 WR don’t even think about a superbowl as teams with an offense thats got talent that can get trust of their qb. GB been neglecting Rodgers for a decade, Favre had great offense with number 1 defense, wonder why they give Rodgers bare minimum around him.
