Green Bay, Wisconsin-The Green Bay Packers have been tinkering with the roster, adding four times last week under a deal with aggressive lineman Thai Clary.
Clary started 39 games in Arkansas over five seasons, five of which started in 2021 as Super Seniors. In 2020, he started five games at Lightguard and two at the center. In 2018 and 2019, he nodded 22 times at the center.
Versatility is his calling card in Arkansas, which should fit the packers perfectly.
“It was a little stressful, but it was fun to get out and tackle a bit and then go back to the center from the guard,” Clary said in an early season victory at Georgia Southern with the center, light guard and light tackle. Said after playing. “I used to play guards and centers and it was fun. I felt it was a good game. I really just try to help the team.”
Clary removed the draft and signed the Miami Dolphins, but was exempt / injured due to a shoulder injury.
I didn’t test on a professional day because of my shoulders. He measured 6 feet-4 3/8 lbs and 299 lbs.

Clary has a lot of athletic DNA. His father played soccer at John Brown University, his mother competed on John Brown’s swimming team, and his grandfather cornered back at Arkansas A & M.
Originally from Fayetteville in Ark, Clary was a walk-on at her home school. He received a blue shirt offer rather than a scholarship offer from Cincinnati, Kansas and others.
“As far as I can remember, I’ve always been to hog games,” he told NWAOnline.com at the time. “We always had season tickets, so I always wanted to play. Taking the opportunity was really like a dream come true.”
Clary is the fourth player in the week since training on Monday to be a safe Darling Levitt with a remarkable history with receiver Osils Mitchell, a 6-foot-5 player who had a strong season at the USFL, and Rich Visatch. I will join. .. Earlier, they all signed the USFL’s tight-end Sarcanella.
When the Packers officially sign Clary and Mitchell later in the day, they will have to make two more roster moves to return to the 90-person limit.
The first practice of the training camp is set on Wednesday.
Packers 53 Address Book Projection
This is our best guess on the roster for the first week of the first practice of the training camp set on Wednesday.
Quarterback (2)
53rd: Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love.
The toughest cut: none.
Injury concerns: none.
analysis: The four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers and the first round pick Jordan Love in 2020 are the surest. The only other quarterback on the roster, Danny Etling, is on the spot for the practice team as long as it shows enough promise to serve as a back-up for love in the preseason.
Running back (3)
53rd: Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Patrick Taylor.
The toughest cut: none.
Injury concerns: Kirin Hill (ACL) opens a training camp with a list that cannot be physically performed.
analysis: Not many backfield duos are better than Jones and Dillon. With Hill returning from last year’s promising seventh round pick from a serious knee injury, Taylor leads the undrafted rookies BJ Baylor and Tyler Goodson into the training camp.
Wide receiver (7)
53rd: Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers, Christian Watson, Romeo Dubs, Samori Ture.
The toughest cut: Jwan Winfrey had a strong off-season last year and did it this year as well. But unless he (or Malik Taylor) completely surpasses the rookie, it’s hard to see them coming into the next season. As the team constantly exchanges the bottom of the roster, there is a way to live with the new, with the old.
Injury concerns: none.
analysis: That’s an annual question. How many recipients make a roster of 53 people? During past training camps, the depth and potential of the receiver corps has been exaggerated. Perhaps this will be the year the Packers carry 7 in the regular season. Lazard, Cobb, Rogers, Watson and Dubs looked like rock, and Watkins certainly looked like rock when Director Matt Raffleer said, “It will make up the majority of our attacks.” .. So it makes it 6. It will be Toure, 7th round picks and wildcards. He caught Aaron Rodgers’ eyes during two mini-camp exercises. Also, at the end of the season, Lazard, Cobb and Watkins will be free agents, so packers may need to weigh in here based on future needs and young potential.
Tight end (4)
53rd: Marcedes Luis, Tyler Davis, Josiah de Guara, Sal Canella.
The toughest cut: Dominique Daphne.
Injury concerns: Robert Tonyan (ACL) opens a training camp at PUP.
analysis: Tonyan was injured on October 28th. When the season begins on September 11th in Minnesota, he will be ready to go or approach it. Green Bay’s training staff usually take a conservative approach, so Tonyan plays 53 games a day and is then put on the injured list. If he plays in the regular season, he will miss only four games instead of six. PUP version. If Tonyan doesn’t play in the first week, Davis may move to an important role, adding the USFL All-Star Canella or Daphne, who signed last week. If Tonyan can return to form, this will be a solid group of receivers (Tonyan), blockers (Lewis), and fullback type (Deguara).
Offensive line (9)
Offensive line (9)
53rd: LT David Bakhtiari, LG Jon Runyan Jr, C Josh Myers, RG Royce Newman, RT Yosh Nijman, G / T Sean Rhyan, G / C Zach Tom, T / G Cole Van Lanen, T Rasheed Walker
The toughest cut: C / G Jake Hanson, 6th round pick in 2020.
Injury concerns: Buff Tiari suffered an ACL break almost exactly 20 months ago, but still plans to open a training camp at PUP. Elgton Jenkins (PUP) will also start camping at PUP.
analysis: The fate of this season depends on the pair of reconstructed anterior cruciate ligaments. ACLs are usually 9 or 10 months of injury. Buff Tiari has doubled that timeline, but he’s not yet on the field on the first day of the camp. Based on 10 months, Jenkins was able to make 53 even if he wasn’t completely ready, but the importance of Odyssey and Jenkins with Buff Tiari means he will start the season with PUP. There is likely to be. Buff Tiari and Jenkins are two of the best linemen in the NFL. They need them on the field and play at a high level in January. On the other hand, in the interior, the Packers have to take a big step after the packers miss most of the rookie season with a knee injury.
Defensive line (5)
53rd: Kenny Clarke, Dean Raleigh, Jalan Reed, Devonte Wyatt, TJ Slaton.
The toughest cut: Jonathan Ford, who played in the seventh round of this year’s draft, and Jack Heflin, an undrafted free agent who played in 53 last year. The sixth lineman of the practice team.
Injury concerns: Raleigh opens a camp at PUP, but may not stay long.
analysis: This could be the best unit on the team. Clark was a professional bowler, Raleigh and Reed were stable veterans, Slaton was an up-and-coming second-year player, and the explosive Wyatt was drafted in the first round. If Wyatt meets expectations, Packers can have two big weapons in advance.
The toughest cut: Jonathan Garvin and Tipa Galley made an important snap last season, but weren’t productive enough.
Injury concerns: Ramsey (ankle) opens a camp at PUP.
analysis: If you disassemble it, Gary and Smith are rock and everyone else is in the bubble. The fifth round rookie, Enagbare, has just been drafted and probably has an edge over other rookies. Hamilton didn’t get a lot of snaps last season, but he did give some tips to rush passers-by. Ramsey was a high quality player on a special team in 2020. It’s not surprising to see packers grab past prime veterans and improve depth at some point in the camp or early in the season.
The toughest cut: The Thai Summers have made many snaps on special teams since being drafted in the seventh round of 2019.
Injury concerns: none.
analysis: The combination of last year’s allpro Campbell and this year’s first round pick, Walker, may be special. Burns has been a pretty decent starter in the last two seasons, so he offers a reliable depth. Obviously, a special team will determine the remaining depth chart. McDuffy was last year’s sixth round pick and Wilborn has an interesting combination of size and athletic performance.
Cornerback (5)
53rd: Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas, Eric Stokes, Cassian Nixon, Shemer Jean Charles.
The toughest cut: none.
Injury concerns: none.
analysis: Alexander, Douglas and Stokes form the best cornerback trio in the NFL. Unstable depth charts will not be forced if they can stay healthy for 17 games. Maybe they aren’t so lucky. Nixon played 40 games in three seasons for the Raiders, splitting one pass. This is one more dissolution than last year’s fifth round pick, Jean-Charles. Last summer, Packers had the opportunity to do a cornerback parade during the training camp. That may be the official for this summer.
Safety (5)
53rd: Adrian Amos, Darnell Savage, Sean Davis, Tariq Carpenter, Darin Levitt.
The toughest cut: Vernon Scott was the seventh round pick in 2020 and didn’t play at all in defense last year. So maybe he’s not a tough cut at all.
Injury concerns: none.
analysis: Behind Amos and Savage’s Top Flight Start Tandem, the Packers didn’t have the single safety that played a snap of last season’s NFL defense until they signed Levitt on Monday. He played 249 snaps, started one game for the Raiders in 2021 and led the team with a special team tackle. With his defense experience and experience with Rich Visatch’s special team, he is in a good position to win the roster.
Special team (3)
53rd: K Mason Crosby, P Pat O’Donnell, LS Jack Coco.
The toughest cut: none.
Injury concerns: Crosby begins season PUP with a private injury.
analysis: In the long snapper gig, Steven Wirtel vs. undraft rookie Coco will be incumbent. Wiltel wasn’t particularly good during his half-season of work last year, and Coco hasn’t punt snapped in the game since high school. You will have to think that the Scout will refine the exemption wire during the training camp unless someone really shuts out the job.
