GREEN BAY Kentrell Brice Color Rush Jersey , Wis. (AP) — Packers interim head coach Joe Philbin said that it wasn’t easy to let associate head coach Winston Moss go from the coaching staff, but that he came to the decision because he “just didn’t feel like the fit right now was where it needs to be.”Philbin spoke on Wednesday before his first practice as the interim coach to replace the fired Mike McCarthy . Moss posted a message on Twitter on Tuesday that appeared to question that Packers leadership and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.“Find somebody that is going to hold #12 (Rodgers’ jersey number) and everybody in this building to a #LombardiStandard,” read part of Moss’ tweet , citing former Packers coach and Hall of Famer Vince Lombardi.When asked about the tweet, Philbin said the decision didn’t have to do with just one factor. He then recounted what he told the team earlier this week.“We’ve got to be professional, accountable, respectful and punctual — those are the four things that we’ve got to do the next four weeks https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Geronimo-Allison-Jersey ,” he said. “And if we do all those things we’ll be in good shape.”Moss joined the Packers’ staff in January 2006, a week after McCarthy was hired as head coach. An NFL linebacker for 11 seasons, Moss primarily oversaw the outside linebackers.When longtime defensive coordinator Dom Capers was fired after last season, Mike Pettine was hired as his replacement. The Packers turned to Philbin, the offensive coordinator and former Dolphins head coach, to take over for McCarthy for the last four games of the season.Moss’ limited interactions in recent years with the media were also often either brief or contentious.“Yeah I think it’s important obviously that everybody’s on the same page, that we’re all moving forward in the same direction. As you know Oren Burks Jersey , Winston’s an excellent football coach, I’ve known him a long time,” Philbin said. “Respect him, outstanding family man. So it wasn’t an easy decision, but I just didn’t feel like the fit right now was where it needs to be.”Defensive assistant Scott McCurley, a former assistant linebackers coach, will take over Moss’ duties Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , with Patrick Graham already coaching inside linebackers. It’s officially the Jason Spriggs show today. The Green Bay Packers will start Spriggs at right tackle today against the Chicago Bears, due to the injury to regular starter Bryan Bulaga. Bulaga’s knee injury will keep him out a second straight week, and he is the biggest name on the team’s inactive list today.Awaiting Spriggs is one of the most productive pass-rushers in the NFL this year, Khalil Mack. Mack has ten sacks on the season and he leads the league with six forced fumbles, which is one more than his previous career-high for a single season (set in 2016). That matchup should be a critically important one in this game; when the two teams met in week one, Mack was dominant in the first half but was held sackless after halftime during the Packers’ furious comeback to victory.Also critical for the Packers is the absence of defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The lone remaining week one starting defensive lineman on the active roster, Clark was unable to practice all week with an elbow injury. He joins Bulaga on the inactives list Jimmy Graham Color Rush Jersey , which will mean a heavier workload is in store for reserve players Tyler Lancaster and Montravius Adams. This will also present a difficult challenge for defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, who will need to defend a physical Bears rushing attack without his best interior lineman.Those two players were both listed on Friday’s injury report, with Bulaga listed as doubtful and Clark questionable. The other player with an injury status, cornerback Bashaud Breeland, is active and will play today. However, he missed practice all week due to a personal issue and his workload may be limited.Tune in for the game at 12 noon central.Packers InactivesQB Tim BoyleOT Bryan BulagaDT Kenny ClarkOLB Kendall DonnersonCB Natrell JamersonOL Adam PankeyOL Nico SiragusaBears InactivesQB Tyler BrayFB Michael BurtonOL Rashaad CowardLB Kylie FittsWR Kevin WhiteDT Nick WilliamsWR Jason Wims
