The two leading candidates for those snaps would easily be TJ Slaton and Devonte Wyatt. With Jarran Reed and Dean Lowry gone, there are a lot of snaps available.

Packers Depth Chart Battles: Slight Advantage I see Kingsley Enagbare and, to a lesser extent, Justin Hollins competing with Van Ness to start the season. This would allow competition until Gary returns. However, due to his rawness I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the Gary development plan. A lot of Packers fans expect Lukas Van Ness to start simply because he was a top 13 pick. With Rashan Gary coming off a late-season ACL tear, the expectation is that he will miss at least a couple games to begin the season and probably start out the season on the PUP. With his experience, for all we know Davis could be the week one starter, although I expect it to be either Kraft or Musgrave. I still see Deguara as more of a hback/fullback, but I could see him getting some time as a regular tight end. Josiah Deguara, Tucker Kraft, Tyler Davis, and Luke Musgrave will all be fighting it out for playing time. This position is also pretty wide open 1-4. Training camp will determine playing time, at least early on. Rudy Ford, Tarvarius Moore, and Jonathan Owens will fight it out for that spot with Anthony Johnson Jr. The competition will be strong with between three to four guys competing for opportunity to start. So this is really a battle for the starting spot opposite him. I put the quotes around it since the Packers do not differentiate between the two safety spots, although I expect Darnell Savage to play mostly free. Photo Credit: Carmen Mandato/Getty Images
