10 Packers players who need to shine against the Raiders

The Green Bay Packers head to Canada to face the Oakland Raiders in an international pre-season game in Winnipeg on Thursday night.

Here are the players on the list of players who need to shine against the Raiders:

A stinger who suffered during joint training with the Texans deprived all the dynamics he had built at the beginning of the training camp. He can recover everything with great performance in the passing game and as a player who comes back against the Raiders. Two weeks (without injury) and he will be on the list. Davis, unlike all other members of the team, has unparalleled speed and return capability.

This is the moment or never for Moore. It may not be higher than catcher # 8 or 9 on the Thursday night depth chart. He is as talented as any catcher on the list who does not call Davante Adams, but at some point he has to prove that he can do everything for a real match. Less thought, more play. See the ball, catch the ball. Moore desperately needs a big party in Winnipeg.

The two weeks were interesting for Summers. He always put himself in a position to play games, but all too often he missed attempts. In Baltimore, Summers looked like a pinball machine on a few missed tackles. It remains a good bet to be part of the formation, especially with Oren Burks, but the Packers want the beginner linebacker to be more efficient and the technique to be better.

Thursday night is a great opportunity for Johnson, the forgotten back half of the Packers line-up. The starter Danny Vitale (calf) is still missing. Johnson now has a chance to prove that he is able to fulfill all the responsibilities of his position in Matt LaFleur's offense. It's not surprising that the Packers keep two backs, especially if Johnson stands out in the last two weeks.

DeShone Kizer remains the No. 2 and favorite quarterback to save Aaron Rodgers. Boyle can he make a late push? He was too inconsistent and inaccurate to really push Kizer, even though he made three touchdown passes in two pre-season games. Although Boyle can not surpass Kizer, he can still defend the Packers by keeping three quarters. He must produce a steady performance without the ups and downs of his first two appearances.

It was not perfect during the pre-season, but Madison also did not seem outmatched, even though he spent a full year out of football. He got his feet wet during the first two weeks and now is the time to take a step forward and really push for a spot in the lineup as an offensive lineman. Madison can pass the block and he looks good on the move in the match at the race. He is fighting against Justin McCray and Lucas Patrick for what could be a backup task.

Rookie Ka'dar Hollman (stinger) will not play against the Raiders, opening the door for Sullivan – who intercepted a pass in the opening game and then conceded a touchdown pass to Baltimore – to qualify. He has enough talent and ability to play to be part of the team, even in a difficult position, but he will have to impress Green Bay decision-makers in the last two games. Another big play on Thursday night would not hurt.

The rookie has a lot of talent during camp and pre-season, but his inconsistency has sometimes made Matt LaFleur crazy. There is a legitimate opening behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams in the race, but the rookie must be more trustworthy to really grab it. Thursday night, Williams offers Williams another chance to take a step forward and eliminate Tra Carson from the conversation. The Packers must see him reduce his mental errors before handing him the number 3 post.

Josh Jones has been away for more than a week with an unspecified illness and has not played during the pre-season, while Ibraheim Campbell remains on the PUP's list. The door is wide open to allow a player to enter the fourth security point. Can Jamerson do it? He and Will Redmond did not take advantage of the opportunities offered in the first two pre-season games. Jamerson is the most natural player and the best player on the special teams.

Specifically, Ficken probably needs a bad night from Mason Crosby. The Packers' kicking competition has lacked drama so far, but that could change if Crosby struggled in Winnipeg. Ficken must take revenge on all the veteran's setbacks. He has not done enough to challenge Crosby so far.
