Report; Barbre may lose starting job

The Green Bay Gazette reports former Missouri Southern State University and East Newton High School lineman Allen Barbre may lose his starting position for the Packers' next game:

Third-year pro Allen Barbre has started every game this season at right tackle with mixed results. He didn’t give up a sack on Sunday but unofficially yielded six pressures. Tauscher, who was re-signed on Oct. 12 after nine months of rehabilitation following reconstructive knee surgery, also was active against the Vikings but, like Clifton, did not play.

That could change this week.

Whereas last week coach Mike McCarthy said he planned to start the week of practice with the same offensive line that finished the previous game, he was noncommittal on Monday.

“I’m going to see how Chad Clifton progresses through the week. I also want to see how Mark Tauscher progresses through the week,” McCarthy said.
