GREEN BAY – As far as Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur are concerned, Billy Turner has proved he can start at right tackle.
The team’s starting right guard last year, Turner was thrown into a three-way competition for the two spots on the right side with veteran tackle Rick Wagner and guard Lane Taylor during the offseason.
Though no decision has been made on the starting lineup, according to the two men, Turner playing tackle may be more likely after Wagner left practice with a left arm injury Thursday.
Turner gained experience playing both guard and tackle during his time spent with Miami and Denver, but when the Packers signed him to a four-year, $28.
