GREEN BAY, Wis. -- And the replacement for former Pro Bowl safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is ... a cornerback.
The Green Bay Packers have moved Tramon Williams to safety, giving them a veteran -- albeit one playing a different position -- in the middle of their defense to play against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
Williams has some safety experience in his past -- most recently late in the 2016 season with the Cleveland Browns. At defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's request, he will get the first chance to replace Clinton-Dix, who was traded to Washington for a fourth-round pick on Tuesday.
