NFC Notes: Falcons, Packers, Panthers, Redskins

Falcons

Falcons HC Dan Quinn mentioned that it would take an โ€œact of natureโ€ for WR Julio Jones (ankle) to not suit up for the Super Bowl.

โ€œHeโ€™s healthy,โ€ Quinn said, via CBS Atlanta. โ€œIt 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 hasnโ€™t made a decision regarding who will eventually replace GM Ted Thompson. 

โ€œI donโ€™t think you can make promises,โ€ Murphy said via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. โ€œEspecially [because] the league changes so much year to year.โ€

Murphy wouldnโ€™t say how long Thompsonโ€™s contract runs or if the team would consider offering him an extension.

โ€œI know thereโ€™s a lot obviously written about this year, but weโ€™ve been in this situation before,โ€ Murphy said. โ€œOver the last four or five years, we lost John Schneider and John Dorsey and Reggie. Weโ€™ve got a good staff in place, and Tedโ€™s assembled some really talented people. The success weโ€™ve had over the last five to 10 years, people in the league notice. And the people that weโ€™ve lost have had a lot of success now. So itโ€™s a tribute to them.โ€

  • The Panthers announced Thursday that theyโ€™ve promoted Curtis Fuller to defensive backs coach and named Rams defensive quality control coach Jeff Imamura their new assistant defensive backs/nickels coach.

Redskins

  • Mike Jones reports that the Redskins recently interviewed Tim Lewis for defensive backs coach job.
