How Do the Packers Replace Edgerrin Cooper?

The Green Bay Packers won in Tampa Bay, but they lost Edgerrin Cooper for the season. How does Jonathan Gannon replace one of the defense’s most important playmakers with the Chicago Bears coming to Lambeau Field? On Packers: DERAILED, J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck start with Cooper’s Achilles injury, the choices between Isaiah McDuffie and Ty’Ron Hopper, and what his absence could mean for a defense that had to save Sunday’s 17-14 win. Then we turn to the rebuilt offensive line. Laken Tomlinson and Travis Glover helped keep Jordan Love clean, but Kevin Zeitler is expected to enter the lineup. Who should start at right guard, and did Matt LaFleur find an offensive approach that can hold up against Chicago? Finally, how did the Packers let a winnable game stay so close? We’re breaking down the fourth-quarter turnovers, Kaleb Johnson’s goal-line fumble, the penalties and the third-down struggles that nearly erased Green Bay’s progress.
