The Green Bay Packers will call on veteran assistant coach Jerry Gray to call plays for the defense without defensive coordinator Joe Barry available for Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals.
Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Gray would be the playcaller on Tuesday.
“Yeah, so, Jerry will call it,” LaFleur said. “Certainly, it will still be a collective effort from all the guys. We have a lot of confidence in our defensive staff. ‘KO’ (linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti) will communicate the call to ‘Dre’ (linebacker De’Vondre Campbell) on the field. That’s how we’ll roll.
