Jonathan Owens made the most of his opportunities over the last month as the Green Bay Packers dealt with injuries at safety and he retained his starting role against Kansas City, even with Rudy Ford fully healthy.
“JO’s done a great job,” said safety coach Ryan Downard on Friday. “He does a great job communicating. I thought he brought a level of physicality, specifically in Detroit, there was a couple of plays that ‘wow,’ that’s what we needed from a play-style standpoint.”
Along with Darnell Savage, Ford was a starter at the safety position since Week 1 after winning that positional battle over the summer.
