The Green Bay Packers will finish the preseason on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs and then begin making cuts in preparation for Saturday afternoon’s 53-man roster deadline.

Here’s where the Packers stand at every position going into the finale:

Quarterback

Aaron Rodgers, now 35 and five years removed from his last MVP season, will go into Week 1 without playing a single snap during the preseason. Don’t let that worry you. The success of Rodgers and the new offense won’t be determined by 10-20 meaningless snaps running vanilla plays in a meaningless game. He’s confident in the scheme and ready for Week 1.

Behind Rodgers, the backup battle is coming down to the wire, with Tim Boyle gaining significant ground on DeShone Kizer by producing in all three preseason games, including an impressive start against the Raiders in Winnipeg. Kizer has more experience, Boyle has been better during games. They both look more decisive making decisions, but neither is superbly qualified to be a No. 2 quarterback. If Boyle wins the job, will GM Brian Gutekunst admit his mistake and dump Kizer? Rookie Manny Wilkins’ best bet is a chance to return on the practice squad.

Running back

Starter Aaron Jones has all the tools of an elite back and is now spearheading the attack of a run game tailormade to his abilities. Prediction: If he’s healthy for the majority of the season, Jones is going to produce Pro Bowl level numbers, and he’s going to be a problem both as a runner and receiver. The Packers love his slashing style and Matt LaFleur wants to get the ball to the backs in the passing game.

Backup Jamaal Williams does all the little things right but lacks an elite trait. He’s James Starks with better dance moves. The real intrigue at running back is behind the two third-year veterans. Third-year back Tra Carson is leading the race to be the No. 3, but rookie Dexter Williams and Keith Ford will have a chance to earn the job in the finale. The Packers can do better than Carson. Williams is talented but hasn’t been consistent enough. It’s possible the team’s third running back is currently on another’s team roster.

Fullback

Danny Vitale took full advantage of the opportunities granted by a fullback-friendly offense and locked up a roster spot early in training camp. The Packers will ask him to run, catch and pass protect on any down or distance. Does Matt LaFleur want to keep a second fullback? And can Gutekunst really afford to keep one? Probably not, but Malcolm Johnson and Tommy Bohanon will both get a final shot to earn a spot against the Chiefs. Stashing a second fullback on the practice squad makes a lot of sense.

Receiver

Davante Adams is a two-time Pro Bowler who produced another standout training camp, Marquez Valdes-Scantling is locked in as the perimeter receiver opposite Adams and Geronimo Allison has spent most of camp operating from the slot. They’ll start Week 1. Jake Kumerow is so reliable and consistent and Trevor Davis has big-play ability as a pass-catcher and returner. They’ve all but locked up roster spots during the preseason. That’s five. What to do from there?

Equanimeous St. Brown has a significant ankle injury and will miss time to start the regular season. He could make the 53 and immediately go on IR. Darrius Shepherd has Randall Cobb-like qualities and has done nothing but produce during camp and the preseason. The quarterbacks love him and he’s a traditional slot receiver, something the roster lacks. Allen Lazard is 6-5 and looks more explosive after losing weight. He’s done enough to make the roster. J’Mon Moore hasn’t kept up and is almost certainly on his way out of Green Bay. Last year’s fourth-round pick has been a big bust.

Tight end

The top four – Jimmy Graham, Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger – haven’t changed since the start of camp. The Packers are confident Graham can produce a bounce-back year, even though he’s already battling a finger injury. Lewis is in great shape and will be used more, Tonyan has playmaking ability as a move tight end and Sternberger is a third-round pick developing in the system. Evan Baylis is versatile and has put himself in a position to land on the practice squad.

Offensive tackle

David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga provide one of the NFL’s best tackle tandems. Jason Spriggs (injured reserve) won’t play for the Packers in 2019 (or possibly ever again), so Alex Light is the new favorite to be the No. 3 tackle. He’s been solid during the preseason. Billy Turner, the starter at right guard, is the top backup at right tackle. Yosh Nijman and Gerhard de Beer could be practice squad candidates.

Offensive guard

Turner has been great all camp and is locked in as a starter at right guard. The mystery is at left guard. Incumbent starter Lane Taylor is battling rookie Elgton Jenkins for the job. If Jenkins wins the job, is Taylor gone? The rookie looks like the real deal and probably needs to play. Getting rid of Taylor would still be a risk. Lucas Patrick and Justin McCray give the Packers two tough, experienced backups who can play guard and center. Can Cole Madison, the fifth-round pick from 2018, win a job? He’s been up and down during camp and is now dealing with a knee injury.

Center

Corey Linsley is the undisputed starter. Patrick, McCray and Jenkins can all play center behind him.
