Welcome to your mid-week Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We’ll start with Tom Silverstein’s look at the play of offensive lineman Justin McCray and how his style of play may be just what the Packers need.

 

From Tom:

At some point in the next couple of weeks, the Green Bay Packers are going to be tempted to replace Justin McCray at right tackle with Jason Spriggs, their second-round pick in 2016 who is expected to come off injured reserve this week.

Spriggs struggled in training camp, but he’s a phenomenal athlete who devoted his six weeks off from football because of a hamstring injury to bulking up in the weight room and building back his confidence.

The 6-6, 306-pound Spriggs was drafted to one day replace Bryan Bulaga, whose career took a bad turn this season with a second torn ACL. If your priority was to protect Aaron Rodgers, you’d look for a guy with Spriggs’ length and athletic ability.

But as the Packers head into Week 11 hoping to keep their season alive, they’d be foolish to consider anybody but the large-bellied, thick-legged, guard-mannered McCray at right tackle.
