Packers DC likely out for Week 8 due to COVID

While life is great for the Green Bay Packers right now, having won six consecutive games, that doesn't mean they haven't been hit with some adversity. Such is the case leading up to the Thursday Night Football showdown vs. undefeated Arizona.

On Monday morning, it was announced that defensive coordinator Joe Barry has tested positive for COVID-19 and he's expected to miss Week 8.

This of course is a bummer of news for Green Bay, as the defense has looked fantastic in back-to-back wins over the Bears and Washington Football Team. It will be on Green Bay to try and silence Kyler Murray and Co. without Barry on hand.
