With just two weeks until kickoff, the Packers are scrambling to prepare backups: Jordan Morgan is locked in at left tackle, leaving Darian Kinnard or Anthony Belton as potential right tackle options. Kinnard has more experience, but Belton’s preseason reps make him a strong contender. The team’s gamble on Bako-Bewele’s readiness could pay off — or risk another injury. They need a solid backup plan ready to go. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
