Green Bay Packers add 16 new players to initial 53-man roster

The Green Bay Packers have finalized their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season, including 16 players who were not on the team at any point last year. The group features several draft picks, such as offensive lineman Jager Burton and cornerback Brandon Cisse, who both showed progress during training camp. Veteran arrivals include linebacker Zaire Franklin and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, the latter reuniting with defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. The roster also includes running back Kaleb Johnson, acquired via trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and wide receiver Skyy Moore, who joined from the San Francisco 49ers. Additional depth was added at tight end with the acquisition of Mark Redman in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams. These personnel moves come as the team prepares for its Week 1 regular-season opener.
