‘Can you throw?’ Packers scramble to fill backup quarterback roles before Chiefs game

Shortly after the news of Packers star Aaron Rodgers being ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs, Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur met with the media Wednesday and was asked about the team’s plan at quarterback.

“It’s all hands on deck, man,” LaFleur said before jokingly asking a reporter: “Can you throw?”

The Packers roster lists only three quarterbacks: Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love and Kurt Benkert.

Rodgers on Wednesday tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Sunday’s game against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
