Packers Linebackers Off To Sluggish Start

The Green Bay Packers were without linebacker Clay Matthews again at Tuesday's training camp practice as he nurses a sore knee. With Matthews out, the others fighting for a roster spot had another opportunity to benefit from increased snaps. Head coach Mike McCarthy expected them to do just that and judging by his comments after practice, it doesn't sound like they made their coach proud. McCarthy told his linebackers that they need to start making more plays. After just a few padded practices, the coaching staff is already starting to form big opinions on who sticks on this year's final roster.
