For the first time this regular season, the Green Bay Packers have updated their depth chart. Based on what we saw out of the team this summer, it’s a pretty accurate representation of where the team is.
Here are a couple of interesting notes:
- Rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden is listed as a starting outside receiver over veterans Dontayvion Wicks and Malik Heath. Golden played well throughout training camp, but it’s still rare that the Packers throw the keys to a rookie draft pick. He’s the only starter among the 2025 draft class.
- Rasheed Walker, who said that he would be the team’s starting left tackle yesterday in the locker room after practice, is indeed listed as the Packers’ top left tackle. Sean Rhyan is listed as the preferred right guard, so you can expect Jordan Morgan to rotate in off the bench at left tackle and right guard this season. Last year, Rhyan and Morgan split time at right guard when healthy.
- Micah Parsons is officially listed as a defensive end, which will probably help him down the line if the Packers ever want to franchise tag him. Both Lukas Van Ness and Kingsley Enagbare are listed as second-string defenders at defensive end, leaving Brenton Cox Jr. as a third-stringer. Cox has been behind Enagbare on the depth chart throughout training camp.
- Isaiah McDuffie is the team’s listed third starting linebacker, so don’t think that Ty’Ron Hopper’s hot summer will mean that the team is working to get him on the field on defense. Right now, he’s just a good backup who plays special teams for Green Bay.
- The Packers’ listed starters in the return game are Keisean Nixon (kick return) and Jayden Reed (punt return). It’s going to be tough for the Packers to ever get better at punt returner, considering how big head coach Matt LaFleur likes his receivers.
