The Green Bay Packers had one of the most surprising cutdown days in recent memory on Tuesday placing A.J. Dillon on season-ending IR, cutting Grant DuBose and Anthony Johnson Jr. and more. Plus, does Rich Bisaccia have too much sway over the team?

AJJ , Welch, and King were my shockers. Hoping they can get them on PS.
RB is the Assistant Head Coach along with ST Coordinator, so i hope he has quite a bit of input. They can only dress 48 on game day, so if they think one of the bottom guys wouldn't be dressing most games, it would be better to stash them on the PT and keep a Special Teamer who will play every game.
Wanted to keep welch…
Shame about AJ and King for all their offseason efforts. But im trusting Guty and matt on Willis but we need a reliable kicker still.
Pete spitting truths about special teams.
Rich is a made man, Peter, leave it alone. Z Anderson = D. Leavitt
Rich B. is asst head coach for a reason, no? For better or worse.
The Green Bay Packers are placing AJ Dillion on IR and he will miss the entire 2024-25 NFL season. Although the injury hasn’t been made public yet, this is a huge blow to the Packers backfield. This isn’t an ideal start for Green Bay, as Marshawn Lloyd will start the season on IR. He’s expected to miss a minimum of 4 games of the regular season, as he’s been dealing with a hamstring injury. He also missed some time this summer with a hip injury. AJ Dillion re-signed with the Green Bay Packers this offseason and was expected to be apart of the running back rotation in 2024-25. Green Bay also signed Josh Jacobs to a 4-year, $48 million deal in March to become the bellcow but the workload has increased over the past 2 days. AJ Dillion was known for being a bruising running back who can wear out a defense throughout a contest but now the Green Bay Packers will be forced to find an alternative until Marshawn Lloyd is ready to return. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
Lloyd is healthier AND younger with higher ceiling than AJ Dillon. AJ nice guy but can't move laterally and SUCKS at zone running.
