Witherspoon didn’t get the start last week after returning from injury, but he did step in when Emmanuel Moseley went down with an injury. Witherspoon will presumably regain his starting spot now that he’s had a full week of practice, and he will have to deal with Rodgers and the Green Bay passing attack in his return. While the quality of receivers dip for the Packers after Adams, Rodgers is good enough to make any receiver elite for a game. Witherspoon will need to play at a high level for any receiver Green Bay throws at him.
