In just a few short weeks, over 80 players donning the green and gold will take the field at the beginning of training camp with one common goal in mind: winning Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, Fla.

But before they can hoist a trophy in the air in February, they must first survive the rigors of training camp in August, including two-a-day practices, the Wisconsin heat and humidity, four preseason games and not to mention, fierce competition for the right to continue calling themselves Green Bay Packers.

The Packers will trim their roster twice in the preseason, first on August 31, and again on September 5.

When all is said and done, only 53 players, plus a few practice squad members and NFL Europe players, will return to Lambeau Field to prepare for a run at the NFL's coveted Lombardi Trophy, beginning with a road game versus the defending NFC Champion Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
