NFC Notes: Falcons, Packers, Panthers, Redskins

Falcons

Falcons HC Dan Quinn mentioned that it would take an “act of nature” for WR Julio Jones (ankle) to not suit up for the Super Bowl.

“He’s healthy,” Quinn said, via CBS Atlanta. “It would take an awful lot, an act of nature, for him not to be 100 percent rolling on Sunday.

Packers

Packers president Mark Murphy said he hasn’t made a decision regarding who will eventually replace GM Ted Thompson. 

“I don’t think you can make promises,” Murphy said via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “Especially [because] the league changes so much year to year.

Murphy wouldn’t say how long Thompson’s contract runs or if the team would consider offering him an extension.

“I know there’s a lot obviously written about this year, but we’ve been in this situation before,” Murphy said. “Over the last four or five years, we lost John Schneider and John Dorsey and Reggie. We’ve got a good staff in place, and Ted’s assembled some really talented people. The success we’ve had over the last five to 10 years, people in the league notice. And the people that we’ve lost have had a lot of success now. So it’s a tribute to them.

Panthers

  • The Panthers announced Thursday that they’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.
