Hopper is listed as questionable, as the only player ruled out for the Packers is defensive lineman Warren Brinson (calf).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Green Bay now has a pool of 54 players, rather than just the 53-man roster (the team has not backfilled after moving Melton down to the practice squad yesterday), to make up their 48-man gameday roster. They\u2019ll have to scratch six of the following players, including Brinson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Who would you keep active?
