Morning Buzz: Players report for camp

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here atPackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We start with Ryan Wood’spre-training camp 53 man roster prediction.

From Ryan:

When the Green Bay Packers compile their initial 53-man roster at the end of training camp, their magic number might be 56.

That’s three more than the NFL-mandated limit, but rarely have the Packers been forced to keep just 53 players out of camp. A year ago, center Corey Linsley started the season on the physically unable to perform list, while defensive tackle Mike Pennel was serving a four-game suspension. Their unavailability opened up extra jobs.

The same will happen this summer. Defensive tackle Letroy Guion (four games) and receiver Geronimo Allison (one game) will start the season serving suspensions. Cornerback Demetri Goodson provides value on special teams but is rehabbing from a torn ACL last November and could be kept on the physically unable to perform list to start the season, delaying another roster decision.
