Packers' Ben Sims: Limited to special teams in Week 1
Ben Sims played all seven of his snaps on special teams in the Green Bay Packers' 34-29 loss to the Eagles on Friday.Outside of situations in which the Packers want to get an extra blocker on the field, Sims will likely struggle to find a role on offense while both of Green Bay's top two tight ends, Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave, are available. Sims appeared in all 17 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023 and finished with a 4-21-1 receiving line on six targets.

Packers' Ben Sims: Suits up for every game
Ben Sims was targeted six times and caught four passes for 21 yards and a touchdown over 17 regular-season games in 2023.Sims spent his rookie season in a bit role, but he suited up for all 17 regular-season games and both playoff contests the Green Bay Packers played, which is not too shabby for an undrafted rookie who was claimed off waivers shortly before the campaign began. It's going to be tough for Sims to move up the depth chart with both players ahead of him (Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft) also heading into their second seasons, but Sims likely will head into training camp with a good chance to retain a roster spot.
