Packers WR Malik Heath looks like a roster lock following final preseason game

If there was any doubt that wide receiver Malik Heath was going to be on the Green Bay Packers’ final 53-man roster, that question has most likely been answered following Saturday’s preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks.

“Potentially,” said Matt LaFleur when asked if Heath could be a part of the receiver rotation this season. “He was out there first snap of the game. Think he might have been a little nervous with the false start. It wasn’t perfect, but it never is.”

After rotating in with the starting offense during Wednesday and Thursday’s final training camp practices, in Romeo Doubs’ absence on Saturday, Heath was lined up with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and the rest of the Packers’ starters during the first series and beyond against Seattle.
