And with a stable of five key returners from the 2018 season, Green Bay’s room for newcomers on the 53-man roster is limited.Green Bay has invested heavily in corners in the draft, selecting Kevin King, Jaire Alexander, and Josh Jackson in the past three years. They also may have struck gold with the signing of undrafted Tony Brown in September, while mixing in veteran experience with Tramon Williams through free agency last offseason. Barring a late release or training camp injury, the Packers will have a nearly-full load of players already in the cornerback room before accounting for the undrafted rookies and relatively new additions to the roster. But it is not uncommon for the Packers to keep a sixth corner on the roster, especially one with the versatility to fill in at safety and on special teams. As organized team workouts continue this week, here are a few of those names that are competing for an opportunity to stick in Green Bay.Ka’dar HollmanDespite corner not being a priority in the draft, the Packers still selected one in the sixth round when they made Hollman the 185th pick. The Toledo product continued a trend of high-character picks for Green Bay as a former walk-on who worked other jobs and wrote letters for scholarship offers before earning his chance with the Rockets. But it was not just his background that made Hollman attractive to Green Bay.By running a sub-4.4 forty at his Pro Day in addition to showing off excellent athleticism, Hollman caught the eye of many NFL scouts. His size and press skills should give him the opportunity to earn playing time quickly for the Packers while he adjusts to the professional level. While he will be a 25-year old rookie, Hollman is expected to be in the mix for a final spot on the roster at the end of camp.Chandon SullivanAn under-the-radar prospect in the 2018 NFL Draft, Sullivan posted 25 passes defended and seven interceptions during his Georgia State career. He was expected to turn some heads at the NFL Combine, but ran a disappointing 4.60 forty-yard dash. Still, Sullivan turned in a 40.5” vertical and earned an undrafted opportunity with the Philadelphia Eagles last season. Sullivan’s press coverage and intelligence were his calling cards despite his lack of long speed, and he started one game for the Eagles in 2018 after beginning on the practice squad. Unfortunately, an injury prevented him from further action late in the season and Philadelphia released him on May 6. But as a special teams contributor last season with a 5-foot-11 frame, Sullivan could push for another practice squad stint in Green Bay with his prior NFL experience and still untapped potential.Will RedmondA late-season ACL injury as a senior hurt Redmond’s draft stock back in 2016, but the Mississippi State Bulldog was still drafted in the third round by San Francisco. Still Ray Nitschke Color Rush Jersey , a healthy season has evaded Redmond in the pros and Redmond finished the 2018 season on the Packers’ injured reserve after a call-up from the practice squad.Entering just his fourth season in the league, there is still time for Redmond to recapture the promise he showed in college. He remains a low-cost lottery ticket as a cover man, while offering experience on special teams with 55 snaps last season for Green Bay. While he has his work cut out for him, Redmond’s physicality could earn him another chance in a crowded defensive backfield.Natrell JamersonJamerson is no stranger to the state of Wisconsin, having played his college ball for the Badgers and spent time on the Green Bay roster late in the 2018 season. Jamerson is still listed as a cornerback on the Packers’ website, but figures to spend time at safety in training camp, a position he played as a senior at Wisconsin.With eye-popping measurables at the NFL Combine, Jamerson was selected by New Orleans in the fifth round in 2018. However, he was cut at the end of camp and signed by Houston, where he appeared in 10 games. In limited action with the Packers, Jamerson played 23 special teams snaps but is back in Green Bay this summer. Jamerson is very much on the outside looking in at this point in time, but if he can show the ability to plug in at safety, a position seeking depth once again, his special teams ability could help earn him a full year in Green Bay. GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers find themselves in unfamiliar territory, with no playoff berth to chase but quarterback Aaron Rodgers healthy enough to play in the final two games of a going-nowhere season.If interim head coach Joe Philbin has anything to say about it, anyone who is healthy enough to play – including Rodgers – will play next weekend against the New York Jets despite the circumstances.Rodgers has played all season with a left knee injury sustained in the season opener in September. He said he also injured his groin during the Packers’ 24-17 loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, though the quarterback quickly added he wants to play in the final two games, regardless of the risk.It’s in line with the message Philbin delivered to the team Monday afternoon.“In the general sense, my philosophy is football players are paid to play football games, and football coaches are paid to coach football games,” Philbin said. “Obviously, we have to go through the week and we would never put any player out there that wasn’t physically ready to go. But that’s my general philosophy and overall philosophy – whether it’s Aaron Rodgers or anybody else.“We’re the Green Bay Packers https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Reggie-White-Jersey , we’re a football team and we’re in the business of winning football games, and we want all our players who are healthy to contribute to the overall success of the team. Period,” Philbin added.The loss to Chicago clinched a second straight losing season for Green Bay (5-8-1). Asked if he expected the team to use the final two games to take a look at young quarterback DeShone Kizer, Rodgers said that he “for sure” wants to play.Rodgers recalled thinking he might get to play late in the 2005 season, when he was a rookie first-round pick backing up Brett Favre and the Packers were 3-11 with two games to go.“I remember ‘Favrey’ came in late in the season and said, ‘Well, you’re probably going to get a chance to play here,'” Rodgers recounted. “Didn’t happen.”Rodgers enters the final two games having thrown for 3,974 yards, but with the second-lowest completion percentage in his 11 years as Packers starter (61.7 percent). With just 23 touchdown passes, Rodgers is on pace for the fewest he’s had in a season in which he was healthy enough to play all year.“Nobody’s talked to me about (not playing). I want to play, though, so I’m expecting to start and play,” Rodgers said. “I’d like to be out there and lead us the last two weeks.”NOTES: Philbin did not have an update on RB Aaron Jones, who left Sunday’s loss with a knee injury. “We’re going to have to see what his status will be,” Philbin said. “Hopefully he’ll be ready to play.” The Packers had only one other true halfback on the roster against the Bears, Jamaal Williams, who carried 12 times for 55 yards and a touchdown. . The team claimed RB Kapri Bibbs off waivers from the Redskins. Bibbs carried 20 times for 101 yards and three touchdowns for Washington this season and also caught 13 passes for 102 yards and a score. . Rookie reserve OL Alex Light was suspended one game for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, the league announced Monday. Light, who has played only three snaps on offense this season, is eligible to return to the active roster on Dec. 24.
