The Green Bay Packers benched starting safety and 2019 first-round pick Darnell Savage to open Sunday night’s showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

On the defense’s first play, Rudy Ford started next to Adrian Amos at safety and Keisean Nixon was the nickel cornerback.

Savage was at least partially responsible for a handful of coverage breakdowns during the Packers’ loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. Coach Matt LaFleur said during the week that personnel changes could be coming to combat the recurring mistakes and breakdowns.
