ArticlePackers Discussion: What does a gameday roster look like for Green Bay?September 1, 2026

From the article

Undrafted rookie J. Michael Sturdivant is not only set to be Watson's backup while Williams is out, but he also plays similar roles to Williams on special teams, which I'm sure helped his case for making the 53-man roster.

Sturdivant active as Watson's backup; special teams role secures roster spot.

Sturdivant is an undrafted rookie expected to be active on the 48-man gameday roster for Week 1. He will serve as Watson's backup while Williams is out and plays similar special teams roles to Williams, including work as a gunner, lead blocker on punt return, and lead blocker on kick return. His special teams contributions helped secure his spot on the 53-man roster.
