Packers appear to favor Jacob Monk at right guard before preseason finale
Summary

The Green Bay Packers opted to sit 37 players for the preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals on August 28, raising questions about their starting lineup. Jacob Monk did not participate in the game, indicating he may be the expected starter at right guard for the upcoming regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Rookie Jager Burton and second-year lineman Anthony Belton were both active, with Belton starting at right tackle and Burton at center. Monk has been the first-team option throughout training camp, although he has limited experience with only one start in his career. The official offensive line for Friday's game featured John Williams, Donovan Jennings, Jager Burton, Travis Glover, and Anthony Belton as starters.
