As kickoff draws nigh, the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers have released their inactives for the NFL's season opener, including starters WR Lance Moore for the Saints and DE Mike Neal for the Packers.
Saints Vs. Packers Rosters: Lance Moore, Mike Neal Among Inactives
The full list of inactives:
Saints: Moore, K Garrett Hartley, C Matt Tennant, WR Montez Billings, RB Joique Bell, CB Johnny Patrick, DT Tom Johnson
Packers: Neal, OL Derek Sherrod, LB Frank Zombo, LB Vic So'oto, S M.D. Jennings, TE Ryan Taylor.
(Here’s the full Saints roster and Packers roster)
According to their official website, Sherrod, the Packers’ first-round draft pick, is the Packers’ lone backup at left tackle and left guard. I’m sure the other backup linemen could shift over in a pinch, but still, that’s not an ideal situation for the Pack.
Other than the speedy Moore, who we already knew was going to be out, the Saints go into the season unscathed. None of the players listed among their inactives are on the team’s depth chart, so they’re not missing much. A team can only keep so many players active, so the players on this list are likely the worst of the best.
