GREEN BAY — While virtually every other starter on the Green Bay Packers defense has been given preseason games off so far this summer — and that figures to continue with Saturday’s preseason finale at Buffalo — there’s only one would-be starter who has been on the field for the first defensive possession each of the first two games.
Inside linebacker Krys Barnes.
There are plenty of reasons for this, of course. Barnes, in his second NFL season, is a young player who made the team last year — although not initially, getting waived right at the end of training camp — as an undrafted rookie free agent from UCLA and needs the work.
