“Josh Sitton needs to play guard. That’s where he’ll play this week. He’ll play left guard,” coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday morning.
Sitton was moved from left guard to left tackle in week 17, as starting left tackle David Bakhtiari continued to nurse an ankle injury.
That move was made after watching Don Barclay struggle as Bakhtiari’s replacement the week before. The Packers’ remaining backup tackle, Josh Walker, was an even bigger disaster filling in at right tackle for Bryan Bulaga briefly in that same game.
Bakhtiari’s absence seemingly left the Packers with three options at left tackle.
