GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It did not take Robert Saleh long to find work.

Just over two weeks after being fired by the New York Jets, Saleh was on the Green Bay Packers' practice field Wednesday in a new role.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who has credited Saleh for helping him break into the NFL coaching ranks, has enlisted his longtime friend to help with the team.

Saleh spent the early portion of practice watching the offensive side of the ball. Although the former Jets head coach comes from a defensive background, he will work with LaFleur, who calls the offensive plays, and the rest of the offensive staff to offer a defensive perspective.
