GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers say they haven’t lost faith in Jason Spriggs as their top backup at either right or left tackle, but the way the former second-round pick has performed this preseason it’s worth wondering if they’d be better off with Kyle Murphy as their swing tackle.

Murphy, a sixth-round pick, was drafted 152 spots after Spriggs (No. 48 overall) in the 2016 draft and is off to a much better start this summer.

Spriggs, playing left tackle after starter David Bakhtiari departed following a 16-play stint with the starters, was at least partially responsible for three sacks in last Saturday’s preseason game at Washington, although without knowing the line call it’s impossible to assign exact responsibility. Spriggs also has more losses in the one-on-one pass-blocking drill in practice than any of the top seven offensive linemen on the depth chart.

“You go through and you have struggles sometimes; certainly, his hit now,” Packers offensive line coach James Campen said. “If there’s a place to have it, it’s better in a preseason game than a regular-season game. I’m confident in Jason that he’ll make the corrections necessary and play much better, like he’s supposed to and like he’s capable of, this week.”

Campen said Spriggs “got out of his fundamental wheelhouse.”

“That can happen at times,” Campen said. “Certainly, he’ll be the first to tell you he’s got to play better. We’ll get those things corrected and I’ll make sure he’s better prepared next time. It’s a combination of things but certainly though when you get out of your fundamentals early in the game, people take advantage. He’ll work hard on that this week.”

Packers coach Mike McCarthy did not sound concerned about Spriggs’ performance.

“You’ve got to make sure when you study the tape, a) did you know what the line call was? OK, let’s get that part right,” McCarthy said. “So was he wrong? Or wasn’t he wrong? But he’ll bounce back, I feel strongly about that. Don’t overreact to mental errors. The physical part is, at the end of the day, what it comes down to. If we’re not coordinated properly because of a mental mistake, it’s going to look bad from a physical standpoint. I feel great about Jason. He’ll be fine.”

Packers general manager Ted Thompson traded a fourth-round pick to move up nine spots in the second round to draft Spriggs. At the time, Bakhtiari was entering the final year of his contract, and it wasn’t a sure thing that they would re-sign him. However, Bakhtiari signed a four-year, $51.67 million contract extension in September and right tackle Bryan Bulaga is signed through the 2019 season.

At this point, Murphy might be better suited as the sixth lineman -- the top backup -- because he can play multiple spots while Spriggs (even though he filled in at guard last year) is better suited to play tackle. Murphy has lined up at both tackle and guard this summer, and with versatile lineman Don Barclay still out with an ankle injury, Murphy could fill in everywhere but center.

“Kyle has that ability to play inside and out there at tackle,” McCarthy said. “I think Kyle’s having a heck of a camp.”
