\"Packers<\/p>\n

The Green Bay Packers were one of a handful of teams that entered the final week of the regular season with nothing to play for. Matt LaFleur\u2019s team was already locked into the seventh seed of the playoffs, meaning a loss wouldn\u2019t have hurt their placement. The same goes for a win.<\/p>\n

Thus, with them more focused on staying as healthy as possible for their postseason run ahead, coach LaFleur decided to rest his starters and other key players. This gave the Packers a chance to closely evaluate the other members on Green Bay\u2019s roster who don\u2019t usually see game action.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that sample didn\u2019t go well for quarterback Clayton Tune, who was called upon to make the second start of his NFL career. Tune played the entire game, yet completed just 6-of-11 passes for 34 yards and no touchdowns. He also took four sacks and lost a fumble in the Packers\u2019 16-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.<\/p>\n

By Tuesday, the Packers had already released Tune from the roster. As a resulting move, Green Bay promoted quarterback Desmond Ridder from the practice squad to the active roster, making him the third QB behind Jordan Love and upcoming free agent Malik Willis.<\/p>\n

As for Tune, the 26-year-old will have all offseason to work on his craft. For now, he\u2019ll have to hope he can latch on with one of the other 31 teams in the league, but Sunday\u2019s showing was a step in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n
