A rookie offensive lineman will make his NFL debut with the Green Bay Packers Saturday night.
The team elevated guard Zack Johnson from the training roster to the list of Week 15 games against the Carolina Panthers.
Johnson, an unwritten free agent from the state of North Dakota, has been with the Packers since late April. He was signed to the training squad after the training camp.
Johnson (6-6, 301) started the last 46 games of his career as a collegiate and has experience on both guard and offense, although the Packers list him as a guard.
Teams are allowed to elevate one player from the training roster twice in a season. Johnson has not yet risen in 2020.
The Packers will likely want to deepen along the offensive line and stay out of the elevations for Ben Braden, who was on the game list of games against the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions. An elevation replaced the COVID-19.
Johnson is number 68.
The Packers and Panthers are scheduled for 7:15 p.m., from Lambeau Field on Saturday night.
