Packers confirm ‘open competition’ at inside linebacker

Three players, with a fourth to be added soon, are competing to be the No. 2 inside linebacker next to Christian Kirksey for Mike Pettine’s Green Bay Packers defense.

Pettine confirmed there’s an “open competition” at the position between Oren Burks, Ty Summers, Kamal Martin and even Curtis Bolton, who remains on the PUP list.

“As far as the other spot, there’s open competition there,” Pettine said Friday. “Oren Burks. You’ve got Ty Summers. You’ve got Kamal, the draft pick. All those guys, they all have their own particular skill sets.
