Two weeks of critical mistakes won’t be enough to cost Kentrell Brice his spot as one of the Green Bay Packers’ starting safeties.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Monday that Brice will remain a starter alongside Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

“No, I’m all for Kentrell,” McCarthy said when asked if he’s considering lineup changes. “You have to look at his whole body of work. I really like the way he’s taken his opportunity and what he’s done with it during the spring and summer. We had some tough moments in the game.”

Brice was at least partially responsible for two Kirk Cousins touchdown passes in the fourth quarter of the Packers’ tie with the Minnesota Vikings last week. On Sunday, Brice lost track of a deep ball and gave up another touchdown – this time from Alex Smith to Paul Richardson – and he had at least three missed tackles.

“KB will bounce back,” McCarthy said.

The Packers appeared to be playing quarters coverage on Smith’s touchdown pass to Richardson on the first drive of the game Sunday. Brice had strong coverage in the middle of the field, but he failed to turn and track the ball, allowing Richardson to get under the throw, make the catch and get into the end zone.

Brice also missed a tackle on slot receiver Jamison Crowder and at least two tackles on running back Adrian Peterson, including one on the outside as Peterson turned upfield and gained 41 yards.

Brice also missed on a tackle attempt on a run play and leg-whipped Muhammad Wilkerson, causing what appears to be a season-ending ankle injury for the veteran defensive lineman.

However, Brice was on the field as the Packers bounced back and shut down Washington’s offense during an impressive second half.

It has been a rollercoaster start to Brice’s 2018 season. McCarthy said he was the defense’s highest graded player in the Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears, but teams have found ways to exploit his coverage down the field and recklessness as a tackler in back-to-back weeks.

Brice, a third-year player and former undrafted free agent, played every snap on defense in Week 3 and has been on the field for all 204 defensive snaps through three games.

The Packers are still waiting for Josh Jones to return fully from an ankle injury. He was inactive for Sunday’s loss in Washington.
