If Smith is already ahead of Whyle, who has been in the program for two years now, then Whyle's time on the 53-man roster might be long. Mark Redman, who is sharing the third-string role with Whyle on the Packers' depth chart, is a blocking tight end, a role that is much more valuable than Whyle filling in as Smith's potential backup. If I'm guessing today, Whyle is probably going to be inactive against the Minnesota Vikings.

Whyle likely inactive Week 1 after Smith signing; two-year tenure not enough.

Whyle, an off-ball move tight end and pass-catcher who has been in the Packers program for two years, is now behind both Jonnu Smith and Mark Redman on the depth chart. Since Smith and Whyle overlap as pass-catchers and Redman fills a more valuable blocking role, the source predicts Whyle will likely be inactive against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1.
