Tom Silverstein has a look at some of the toughest roster questions the Packers must handle going forward.

From Tom:

Defensive coordinator Dom Capers has a problem on his hands, but it’s a good one to have.

How is he going to get rookie safety Josh Jones on the field?

Based on Jones’ performance against the Rams, he has to figure out a way. The Packers haven’t had anyone that big and fast since Nick Collins.

Most impressive was his play in coverage on special teams.

He made a tackle from his back on the opening kickoff. He ran free to the punt returner three times from a gunner position. On defense, he made some errors, missing a tackle that led to a touchdown and running into a teammate in coverage that led to a sizable gain.

But when Jones blitzed, either off the edge or up the middle, the force with which he ran through blockers was noticeable. NFL offenses are going to slow him down and make him miss, but his combination of size and speed can’t be left on the sideline for too long.
