Questions for the Packers' dress rehearsal in Denver

The Packers face the Broncos tonight in what will likely be the final preseason action for the starters. The game could prove consequential for multiple position battles and roster spots.

Tonight, the Green Bay Packers will take the field for their second tilt of the preseason, a matchup with the Denver Broncos. Traditionally, teams that play their starters will do so for the final time during the penultimate exhibition, and Green Bay appears likely to follow that approach. That makes Friday’s game a de facto dress rehearsal for Week 1.

With that in mind, what questions can the Packers answer in Denver?

Some matters -- MarShawn Lloyd’s increasing importance to the offense, the various concerns along the offensive line, and Trey Smack rebounding from a slow start to training camp -- have already received extensive coverage here at The Leap. Rather than rehash those topics again today, interested readers can check out these stories:

• Future is now for Brandon Cisse as Packers can’t afford to wait at cornerback

• Fine, let’s have the MarShawn Lloyd conversation

• Packers starting to tip hand when it comes to offensive line

• Right guard is becoming a black hole for the Packers

• Trey Smack shines as Packers put their faith in rookie kicker in preseason debut

Even with those subjects addressed, several consequential questions remain unanswered entering Friday’s preseason game.
