Falcons
Falcons HC Dan Quinn mentioned that it would take an โact of natureโ for WR Julio Jones (ankle) to not suit up for the Super Bowl.
โHeโs healthy,โ Quinn said, via CBS Atlanta. โIt would take an awful lot, an act of nature, for him not to be 100 percent rolling on Sunday.โ
Packers
Packers president Mark Murphy said he hasnโt made a decision regarding who will eventually replace GM Ted Thompson.
โI donโt think you can make promises,โ Murphy said via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. โEspecially [because] the league changes so much year to year.โ
Murphy wouldnโt say how long Thompsonโs contract runs or if the team would consider offering him an extension.
โI know thereโs a lot obviously written about this year, but weโve been in this situation before,โ Murphy said. โOver the last four or five years, we lost John Schneider and John Dorsey and Reggie. Weโve got a good staff in place, and Tedโs assembled some really talented people. The success weโve had over the last five to 10 years, people in the league notice. And the people that weโve lost have had a lot of success now. So itโs a tribute to them.โ
