Given how unusual it would be to keep seven receivers on the final roster, much will be made of who’s having the better camp between these two (Gurley/Borel). The Packers could have a tough decision to make, because the interest shown late last year by other teams will make it difficult for either Borel or Gurley to clear waivers and return to the practice squad.
Then again, who’s to say the Packers won’t keep seven receivers? Last year they kept five tight ends, which sounded just as odd at the time.
Thompson and McCarthy don’t adhere to specific numbers at each position, only minimums so as not to leave themselves dangerously thin. Depending on how the other offensive skill positions shake out, there could be some flexibility.
I could see 7 only if they feel Gurley could play some of the TE snaps.
