The key players who were on the bubble that made it:
- They carry 3 true TEs with Nowakowski as a FB / TE with Tonyan
- Eli Heidenreich appears to have won the RB3 job

QBs: Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Drew Allar
RBs: Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Eli Heidenreich
WRs: DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen, Ben Skowronek
TEs/FB: Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Robert Tonyan, Riley Nowakowski
