Keisean Nixon, Shawn Davis could emerge as top backups for Packers secondary

The Green Bay Packers have established starters in place at cornerback and safety, but backup roles and roster spots at both positions will be up for grabs when Matt LaFleur’s team reconvenes for training camp in late July.

As the offseason workout program wraps up, the favorites could be Shawn Davis at safety behind Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage and Keisean Nixon at cornerback behind Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas and Eric Stokes.

“They’ve approached it the right way and it’s going to be a lot on them in terms of where they are when we come back,” LaFleur said, via Mike Spofford of Packers.com. “They’ve got to stay in the book and up to speed on just all the nuances of those positions. But they’re going to have a lot of opportunity.”
