Bill Huber· Aug 6, 2026

Huber's first Packers rookie progress report projects second-round cornerback Brandon Cisse to hold onto his spot with the No. 1 defense, third-round defensive tackle Chris McClellan to start in Week 1, and fifth-round lineman Jager Burton to be the team's top interior backup rather than a starter.

“With veteran starter Carrington Valentine out due to injury, second-round pick Brandon Cisse moved in with the No. 1 defense. At this point, he might never move out.”
