Packers' Keisean Nixon points out refs' mistake, is 'over' returning kicks

Most Green Bay Packers players didn't play well in Sunday;s loss the the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the series of misfortune kicked off with cornerback Keisean Nixon. In an interview, he said he is ready to narrow his focus on the field, signaling a potential end to his dual role as a kick returner. Nixon, who transitioned to a full-time outside cornerback in the 2024 season, made it clear during a recent interview that he intends to prioritize his defensive responsibilities over returning kicks (per Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith & Mike Florio).

“I want to be CB1,” Nixon told reporters on Monday.
