A rare NFL rule is 1 reason for the Packers’ OL rotation

On Thursday, Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich peeled back the curtain on the Packers’ tackle rotation against the Atlanta Falcons. If you noticed last weekend, the Packers played both Rasheed Walker and Yosh Nijman at the left tackle position with starter David Bakhtiari held out of action. On the surface, the rotation didn’t seem to have much rhyme or reason, as Walker and Nijman were, at times, seen on the field together and also completely independently.

According to Stenavich, the reason for this was an NFL rule about players who report eligible.
