Packers working out QB Flynn

Quarterback Matt Flynn is scheduled to work out for the Green Bay Packers on Monday.

The Packers lost starter Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) and backup Seneca Wallace (groin) to injuries in back-to-back games. Wallace was replaced Sunday by Scott Tolzien, who was already named the starter for Sunday's game against the New York Giants by coach Mike McCarthy.

General manager Ted Thompson took the blame publicly for the Packers finding themselves in their current predicament at quarterback.

Speculation that the Packers were interested in bringing back Flynn mounted not long after Rodgers fractured his collarbone last Monday night in a loss to the Bears. Flynn was Rodgers' primary backup with the Packers before fleeing as a free agent.

... with the starters. That number is very close to zero.

at least he knows the team & plays. I thought Tolzien did ok but Wallace wasn't as good.
