The Green Bay Packers prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Playoffs’ Wild Card Round. Unfortunately for Green Bay, they are battling with multiple severe ailments, making many doubt their potential to upset the second-seeded Eagles, like they did the Dallas Cowboys last year. Jaire Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback, was ruled out for the remainder of the season before to the Packers’ Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears. The ruptured PCL he suffered in Week Eight refused to heal, forcing him and the team to accept the fact that his season was officially gone.
Furthermore, wide receiver Christian Watson sustained a ruptured ACL against the Bears, ending his season and putting his availability for the start of next season in doubt. The Green Bay Packers are banged up in the safety position In addition to Alexander and Watson’s season-ending injuries, the Packers’ safety position is facing some difficulties. Rookie Evan Williams, who emerged as the starter opposite Xavier McKinney at the position, has been out of action for several weeks due to a quad injury sustained during practice.
In addition, Zayne Anderson, who started in Williams’ place, suffered a concussion in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings. He has been in concussion protocol since, and there is no assurance he will be able to play against the Eagles this Sunday. These injuries are significant because they require Green Bay to transfer Javon Bullard from slot/nickel cornerback to safety. He is more effective as a nickel cornerback and struggles more at safety. As the situation becomes “win or go home,” the Packers are scouring among practice squads and available free agents for someone who can help them.
And one of their former players is prepared to take the call if it comes. Former Green Bay Packers’ Safety Adrian Amos appears willing to help. Former Packers Safety Adrian Amos has moved around the NFL a little after departing the organization after the 2022 season. He last appeared in a game for the San Francisco 49ers this year, but was released in November.
Based on what he shared on his Instagram story today, he could be ready for a phone call from the Packers’ front office, who has openly stated that they are searching for some familiar players who can help: As one can see, Amos posted a photo of himself doing out while wearing a Packers cap, with a photograph of himself wearing Green and Gold in the backdrop. Amos spent four seasons in Green Bay, appearing in 66 of the possible 66 games. He had 7 interceptions and 362 tackles throughout that period.
