The Green Bay Packers protected four players on the practice squad for the divisional round of the playoffs this week. Two of the players have a real shot at being elevated to the gameday roster and contributing on Saturday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

Here are the four players:

DL Abdullah Anderson: He’s played 49 defensive snaps over in three games for the Packers already this season, including back-to-back games in Weeks 17-18. The Packers clearly like him as a rotational option up front. Expect him to be a gameday elevation as depth against the 49ers run game.

DL R.J. McIntosh: The 2018 fifth-round pick of the Giants has been in Green Bay for much of the season, but he hasn’t been elevated for a game despite being protected several times. Could this finally be his opportunity?

K JJ Molson: He’s been the emergency backup behind Mason Crosby all season. By protecting him, the Packers have an ideal option ready at kicker should Crosby get injured or test positive for COVID-19.

WR David Moore: He missed the finale while on the COVID-19 reserve list, but his Week 17 performance against the Vikings – featuring three solid punt returns – could mean he’s the primary kick and punt returner on Saturday night. In fact, it wouldn’t be shocking at all if the Packers trusted him over rookie Amari Rodgers.
