One of the most exciting athletes in the Green Bay Packers’

class is finally going to get a chance to take the field on Sundays. The team promoted outside linebacker Kendall Donnerson to the active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday , and it looks likely that the rookie will be active for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.The Packers chose Donnerson in the seventh round of this year’s NFL Draft, making him the 248th overall selection. He possesses elite athletic abilities, with workout numbers such as a40-yard dash time in the mid-4.4s, a 40-inch vertical, and a 3-cone time of just over seven seconds, all at 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds. Donnerson also recorded six sacks as a senior for Southeast Missouri State in 2017 and totaled 13.5 tackles for loss.The rookie will join a thin group of outside linebackers that is down to three healthy bodies. Nick Perry went on injured reserve recently, leaving the Packers with just Clay Matthews, Kyler Fackrell, and Reggie Gilbert to man the position.In order to make a roster spot for Donnerson, the Packers placed safety Ibraheim Campbell on injured reserve. He was injured on Sunday during the team’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals after making eight tackles in the game. The Packers will likely try to bring him back for 2019, however, as he showed enough in a few games to warrant a shot at a roster spot next season.The Packers also made two more transactions , filling a pair of empty practice squad spots vacated by the recent promotions of Donnerson and fullback Danny Vitale. In order to give the team additional depth at safety — a position that saw both Kentrell Brice and Raven Greene sit out the last game with injuries — the Packers filled signed two players at that position: Tray Matthews and Jason Thompson. The two safeties have very different skill sets. Matthews, an undrafted rookie from Auburn, is known as a big hitter. Thompson, on the other hand, is a marvelous athlete, who had a truly impressive Pro Day workout before the 2017 NFL Draft. He had a reported 4.45-second time in the 40-yard dash, with a blistering 1.50-second split time in the first ten yards, and he added blazing times of 6.57 seconds in the 3-cone drill and 4.01 seconds in the short shuttle to go with an 11-foot-1 broad jump. Interestingly, Thompson played quarterback as a freshman at Wyoming in 2012 before transferring to Utah and moving to the secondary. His college career only consisted of 20 games played, but his athletic traits are likely what earned him a look. Matthews, on the other hand, was a multi-year starter at Auburn , who recorded five interceptions and three forced fumbles in his career. When your team is playing like garbage, the headlines are not going to be pretty.After Sunday night’s debacle in Minnesota, words like “broken” and “inept” have been directed at the Packers and fans are none too pleased.One can only hope Packers president Mark Murphy is paying attention and he should be. Green Bay is more than likely going to miss the postseason for the second consecutive season and this time with Aaron Rodgers under center for the majority of it.There is no more Brett Hundley around to make a convenient scapegoat of. The Packers suck and there’s no getting around it.It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Rodgers was supposed to be the Comeback Player of the Year and lead the Packers at least to the playoffs if not a Super Bowl appearance. The team has a new young and aggressive general manager and head coach Mike McCarthy allegedly retooled the offensive playbook. The team was supposed to be reborn in 2018.Instead the Packers could very well end up with a top ten draft pick for come April 2019. When reality is a direct inversion of expectations, changes need to be made.What will those changes be? There are a few possibilities and in today’s cheese curds, we examine what those could be.The Packers Are Broken and It’s Time to Make Major Changes--Bleacher ReportCould Green Bay be looking at a rebuild withAaron Rodgers still on the roster? It’s possible, says Mike Freeman. In this writer’s opinion, Brian Gutekunst did a great job finding new ingredients for the roster. It’s just that Mike McCarthy has forgotten how to cook.Four Completely Plausible Explanations for the Packers’ Ineptitude--The RingerWhile calling Rodgers “washed” may be a bit much for the moment, we have to consider he’s already out of his prime. Quaterbacks rarely age gracefully and Packers fans saw the exception to that with Brett Favre. That being said, I think the option of Rodgers losing all confidence in his coach and offensive scheme seems the more likely result but we’ll have to see.Faulty footwork undermining Aaron Rodgers’ mechanics--PackersNews.comIt’s also possible Rodgers’ issues are purely mental. Rodgers’ footwork in the past has been phenomenal. This year it has been anything but and it was on display against Minnesota. Sure some of it earlier in the year had to do with his knee injury but he’s healthy now and is still throwing off his back foot. Is it psychological? Has getting hurt in back to back seasons affected his mindset to where he is subconsciously protecting himself to the point his mechanics are off? It’s an interesting theory.Locker room knows its back is against the wall--Packers.comIn the past, there was hope the Packers could dig themselves out of the hole they currently find themselves in. Now? It just feels like the walls at Lambeau Field are crumbling and the team is powerless to stop it.Teen’s driver’s license revoked in under an hour--UPICongratulations on getting your driver’s license!
