Opportunity awaits Austin Allen but Packers will keep watch on TE market during cutdowns

With Tyler Davis out for the season with an ACL injury, Austin Allen is going to have more opportunities to try and earn a roster spot, but the Packers will also be keeping a close eye on the tight end market once final roster cuts are made.

Technically, the Packers have just three healthy tight ends on the roster currently in Allen, Luke Musgrave, and Tucker Kraft. Josiah Deguara and Henry Pearson were listed on the unoffical depth chart as fullbacks. In Davis’ absence the last week, we’ve seen Deguara lining up more so as a traditional tight end in-line, but if the Packers want to keep him primarily in that fullback role, they’ll either need Allen to seize the opportunity or make an outside addition.
