Packers Week 11 Snap Counts: Young OLBs get playing time with Rashan Gary out

With Rashan Gary and Allen Lazard inactive for Sunday’s game, the Green Bay Packers had to make some adjustments to their normal outside linebacker and wide receiver rotations against the Minnesota Vikings. Lazard’s absence kept the team without one of its premier perimeter blockers and play-action weapons on offense, while Gary has been the team’s most consistent pass-rusher for most of this season.

Thankfully, the Packers found plenty of production from the players filling in at both positions on Sunday. Tipa Galeai got his first action in the NFL and played more than half of the team’s defensive snaps, while Jonathan Garvin had a much heavier workload than usual in this game filling in for Gary’s absence.
