McCarthy says LB Hawk still valuable to Packers
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says linebacker A.J. Hawk remains a valued member of the team, despite his diminished role in the defense.
Hawk, who plays mostly in the Packers’ base defense, spent Sunday’s season-opening victory at Philadelphia on the sideline as the Packers opted to use extra defensive backs. Hawk’s agent, Mike McCartney, told the Green Bay Press-Gazette this week that Hawk would be open to a trade.
Hawk was not in the locker room Thursday. McCarthy called Hawk a “very good” player and said the team has more than 11 good players on defense — a good problem to have.
