GREEN BAY — Lane Taylor has officially, successfully held off a challenge for his starting job. At least, for now.
The Green Bay Packers veteran left guard was among the players held out of Thursday night’s 27-20 preseason-ending win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Lambeau Field along with the rest of the team’s starters, and head coach Matt LaFleur announced during a pre-game radio interview on the Packers Radio Network that Taylor had won the job over rookie second-round pick Elgton Jenkins.
“Elgton (Jenkins) will be suited up as an emergency fill in, but for the most part, we've done the necessary work (to make the decision),” LaFleur said, according to WTMJ-AM radio, the flagship station.
