Packers get a boost from second-year DE Brenton Cox Jr.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Rasheed Walker thought he had déjà vu after what he saw Brenton Cox Jr. do in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Walker, the Green Bay Packers' starting left tackle, watched from the sideline as Cox, the second-year defensive end, raced into the backfield and tackled Bears running back D'Andre Swift for a 3-yard loss on Chicago's first possession of the game.

But there was no way Walker would have done that before Sunday, because Cox had not played a single snap this season.
