Let’s take a look at which Green Bay Packers played the most against the Washington Commanders, and make some notes about what has changed between Week 1 and Week 2. Surprisingly, there were some adjustments that the Packers made to their depth chart for this game, which could have been a response to open competitions that the team still has or the Commanders’ playing style.
So far this season, Chris Brooks has played 53 snaps for the Packers compared to Emanuel Wilson’s 11. Keep that in mind when MarShawn Lloyd comes off the injured reserve, as it appears that Wilson would be the first to go if Green Bay only had the space to hold onto three players at the position.
Slot receiver Jayden Reed was injured early in the first quarter, leading to the Packers leaning heavier into a three-man rotation of Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks. So far, Doubs leads the receivers in offensive snaps this year (78) with Golden (59) and Wicks (57) being virtually equal. Rookie third-round pick Savion Williams was much more involved in the game plan this week, as his only real snap in Week 1 was a jet sweep. He also contributed on special teams, as more than just a kick returner, which is all he did against the Detroit Lions.
At this point, don’t even consider Luke Musgrave a true number two tight end. Over two games, John FitzPatrick has played 34 offensive snaps to Musgrave’s 37. They’re used in different situations, with Musgrave as a pass-catcher and FitzPatrick as a blocker, but the title of “TE2” is much closer than most fans would assume.
To the surprise of many, it was Anthony Belton who received the most snaps at right tackle this week, following Darian Kinnard taking most of the snaps at the position once Zach Tom dropped against the Lions. Brant Banks, called up from the practice squad, got on the field in field goal protection over Donovan Jennings, who was a healthy scratch in Week 1.
