With Woodson and Harris out, Packers needed to see more from backup cornerbacks

Packers need more from backup cornerbacks

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The idea that the Green Bay Packers’ defense isn’t itself without cornerbacks Charles Woodson and Al Harris isn’t exactly a startling revelation. Still, Saturday night’s preseason game in Seattle was tough to watch at times.

The Packers won the game 27-24, but the first-team defense was missing several key players and it showed. Woodson didn’t play because of nagging injuries, and Harris is recovering from last year’s season-ending knee surgery.

Even with Woodson and Harris, the Packers will need more from their backup cornerbacks.
