According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Packers are set to bring in free agent outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks on a free agent visit Tuesday afternoon. The interest in Brooks comes after the Packers got a glimpse of just how uncertain things are at outside linebacker.
Clay Matthews and Nick Perry are the undisputed starters at outside linebacker. While this is one of the better pass rushing tandems in the NFL, the depth behind the two stars was negligible at best. Both Matthews and perry are injury-prone, and cannot be relied to be the entire force of the pass rush on every down.
