Packers intend to get Christine Michael ready for Week 12

Green Bay Packers "intend to get (running back Christine Michael) ready for the Philly game" in Week 12, head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday.

What It Means:

He was predictably not ready to play in Sunday night's game being claimed off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks at mid-week. Whenever Michael gets up to speed on the playbook, he will be a bigger threat to Ty Montgomery's backfield snaps than James Starks. The Packers went back to running three-receiver sets in Week 11 after dabbling with a spread offense in previous weeks.

Michael has earned 0.01 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt in 2016, the 23rd-most among 65 running backs with more than 30 rushing attempts.
