The Green Bay Packers kept just eight offensive linemen on the 53-man roster after Saturday’s cuts. The starters remain – LT Chad Clifton, LG T.J. Lang, C Scott Wells, RG Josh Sitton and RT Bryan Bulaga.The reserves include LT Derek Sherrod, C/G Evan Dietrich-Smith and RT Marshall Newhouse.

The release of Nick McDonald was a bit of a surprise. He was the backup center throughout camp and rotated with the second group at left guard in the preseason finale. That game was horrid for McDonald. He had a snap over Matt Flynn’s head the ended up as a safety and added a false start.

Still, he was confident after the game.

“You’ve got to be confident and stay positive,” McDonald said. “You’re going to have your plays where you make mistakes. You’ve got to move on from it.”

The back-up inside OL didn't show how much they wanted it or how could it could be. Didn't look like their was a battle going on but they were comfortable where they were. They needed a back-up C and they went with the guy that wasn't showing mental errors to be a safe back-up.

I hope they can get C McDonald, G Dominguez, QB Harrell, WR Gurley, FB Hoese (for FB depth), ILB Joseph, S Bratton and CB Gordy on the practice squad unless of course they think they see better choices.

Uncle Ted always seems to pick up a few players that were released by other teams for the PS. Part of that may well be due to the fact that GB players seem to wind up on another team's 53.
