The Green Bay Packers announced today the completion of their Practice Squad (for now) as they signed the maximum sixteen players to be on it. All were with the Packers in camp.

QB Kurt Benkert
G Ben Braden
G/T Jacob Capra
G/T Cole Van Lanen
TE Bronson Kaufusi 
WR Equanimeous St. Brown
WR Juwann Winfree
WR Chris Blair
RB Patrick Taylor
DL Abdullah Anderson
DL Willington Previlon
LB Tipa Galeai
LB Ray Wilborn
CB Kabion Ento
S Innis Gaines
K JJ Molson
 
2021 PRACTICE SQUAD RULES
16 players on a practice squad — six more than previous seasons.
Six of the 16 slots can be used on players of ANY experience level.
Teams can protect up to four practice squad players per week (to be designated on Tuesdays) who cannot be signed by another team the remainder of the week.
Players can be activated on game day before the team announces their inactives. A player doesn’t necessarily have to be signed to the main roster for the move. This can happen with up to two practice squad players per week, but the same player can’t be elevated two weeks in a row and can only be elevated twice per season before he would have to be signed to the active roster his third time.

It's interesting they went with Equanimeous St. Brown, Juwann Winfree and Chris Blair at WR. I read some speculation they would keep Begelton. I guess it shows us they are more interested in developing young talent than keeping someone who has maxed out.

Retaining a K that they had in training camp, looks like they see Molson as a potential replacement for Crosby

It's only one week, but it looks like they see Molson as a long term option. Protecting Wirtel might mean there's heat under Bradley going forward; if he has a snafu during the game, he might get the hook during the season.

Interesting. Crosby has been solid, (not to jinx him) but he's getting older and has a sizeable contract for a kicker.

Are we that tight against the cap?

I think they're looking at Amari as RB4. Positional versatility.

If I'm looking at Crosbys contract correctly , then a post June 1 2022 cut would save the team 3.4 million dollars with a 1.3 dead cap number with a prorated bonus on the books for 2023 for 1 million. So if Green Bay is hanging on and protecting a K on their practice squad, it might be an indication they like going forward in the future.

Another angle is, how many players do you need between the main roster and the practice squad at each position? There's 6 WRs on the main roster and another 3 on the practice squad. Is a 10th WR even worth it? Why not have a 2nd K , develop him and have him around for emergencies?

I could be mistaken about this, but I believe you can only protect guys so often, and to me, it seems sort of silly to waste protection in week 1 when all these guys just passed through waivers and got though without a problem.

So the Packers using protection on them, might be more of a sign they're not going to need protection later, like they're going to give the LS 3 weeks on the PS to see if he can compete or not, abd make a final decision and one of the LS will be gone after then and they won't need to protect them.

Of course, that logic doesn't work as well for the QB... but the Kicker could just be protecting against other teams making past minute kicker changes especially since some are dealing with some issues, and based on their depth chart, I'm not sure the Saints have a kicker on their roster when it was made. You would hate to fly the enemies weapon to the game.
