The Green Bay Packers lost a major part of their defense when star linebacker Edgerrin Cooper tore his Achilles. Can the secondary step up in his stead?

Anthony Nash of Lombardi Ave argues that the Green Bay Packers must rely heavily on their secondary following star linebacker Edgerrin Cooper's season-ending torn Achilles. Cooper's absence, alongside Micah Parsons being sidelined, leaves significant voids across the front seven that cannot easily be patched by existing linebacker depth.
Nash highlights defensive backs Evan Williams and Javon Bullard as key performers capable of steadying the defense heading into a matchup against the Chicago Bears. Analytics show the secondary currently outperforming the team's depleted linebacker and edge-rushing units.
