Tracking Green Bay’s special teams differences from Week 1 to Week 2

The Green Bay Packers have kept out 30 or more players in each of their preseason games, either due to injury or simply to rest starters, which makes the easiest one-to-one projection for the Packers this summer actually their special teams units. While the field goal and field goal block units should change significantly when the starters are active for gameday, we are able to get a good grasp on what the four core special teams units (kickoff, kickoff return, punt and punt return) should look like in the regular season.

Starting on special teams is a huge signal that the team is considering rostering a player after the preseason, too, as most of the end-of-roster battles will end up coming down to short-term special teams contributions.
