Former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator and interim head coach Joe Philbin will help former Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson lead Saturday’s workout for quarterback Colin Kaepernick in Atlanta, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The NFL helped arrange the workout for Kaepernick, who hasn’t played in the league since the 2016 season.
It’s unknown if the Packers will attend the workout. All 32 NFL teams were invited. The Packers have a bye in Week 11 and would be free of the obligations of a regular workweek.
Philbin’s responsibilities during the workout could include creating the throwing script and finding capable receivers to throw to during the passing work.
Philbin, who coached in the NFL from 2003-18, took over for Mike McCarthy after the Packers fired the long-time coach in December of last year. The Packers went 2-2 in his four games. He was an offensive assistant in Green Bay from 2003-11 and the head coach of the Dolphins from 2012-15.
