The Green Bay Packers are heading into the first week of preseason with a full camp roster and plenty of names to sort through.
That’s the fun of this part of August: the players who were barely on the radar in the spring can suddenly make themselves impossible to ignore. Green Bay has seen that before with undrafted free agents like Dezman Moses, Andy Mulumba, Lucas Patrick and Lane Taylor, all of whom earned spots after making noise in camp and preseason action.
This year’s roster is at 90 players, one short of the maximum because tight end Thomas Yassmin is carrying a roster exemption under the International Player Pathway program. With the preseason opener set for Thursday in Pittsburgh, the Packers’ entire group is laid out below by jersey number and by last name.

Matt LaFleur Opens Up About A Personal Loss Beyond Packers Camp
Packers coach Matt LaFleur had hoped to make the trip from training camp to a funeral service for Cristina Ulbrich, the wife of his longtime friend Jeff Ulbrich, but a mechanical problem with his private plane changed those plans. LaFleur and his wife were set to fly out for the service, only to have the aircraft fail its preflight check, forcing them to miss the ceremony.
Cristina Ulbrich died last month after a battle with cancer, and the Falcons announced her death on July 30. The moment added a painful layer to an already difficult stretch for LaFleur, whose connection to the Ulbrich family goes beyond football and into the kind of personal bond that makes an absence like this feel especially heavy.

Packers Suddenly Have A Forgotten Draft Pick Worth Watching
John Williams quietly went from a forgotten draft pick to one of the more interesting names in Packers camp. The former Cincinnati Bearcats guard lost his entire rookie season to a back injury, but after returning this summer he has shown enough flexibility to get attention across the offensive line, a valuable trait for a team always looking for depth and answers up front.
General manager Brian Gutekunst has been encouraged by Williams progress, and that matters because roster spots along the line rarely come easy. Williams is in the mix for one of the final jobs, and the preseason will help determine whether his comeback story turns into a real place on the 53-man roster or just another long look that ran out of time.

Packers Trey Smack Gamble Looks More Deliberate Than Fans Realized
Green Bays decision to use a sixth-round pick on Trey Smack already looked bold on draft weekend, and Brian Gutekunst made it sound even more calculated in a one-on-one interview. The Packers moved two seventh-round picks to get Smack, then followed through by releasing veterans Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik, a sequence that showed this was never just a flier on a special-teams arm.
Gutekunst described Smack as a player the Packers had rated highly, with the draft board helping make the case once the opportunity arrived. For a team that has spent the offseason trying to settle its kicking picture, the move suggests Green Bay saw enough talent to treat the position like a real roster investment rather than an afterthought.
