Matt LaFleur says Joe Barry's level of contact with players is NOT a "real concern" that there could be a widespread COVID-19 issue inside #Packers locker room, but it is something team is closely monitoring.
LaFleur said there may be other issues regarding COVID-19 with staff.
Asked if DBs coach Jerry Gray will call defensive plays against the Cardinals, LaFleur said he has confidence in Gray’s ability to do so and it will be a collective effort if Joe Barry doesn’t coach Thursday.
With Joe Barry's contact with players, Matt LaFleur said that could be a "real concern" about a potential widespread issue within the locker room. #Packers are monitoring this all very closely.
LaFleur said it's pretty hard to plan whether he'll be missing more than defensive coordinator Joe Barry for the Thursday night game against the #Cardinals, but he said he thinks the process in place will help the team get through the week.
If Joe Barry tests negative on Tuesday and Wednesday after testing positive today, he can coach Thursday because he’s vaccinated. LaFleur said he’s not holding his breath for that scenario.
