The Packers confirmed Sunday morning that offensive coordinator Joe Philbin will be with the team in his familiar post in the coaches' box.
That comes a week after Philbin's 21-year-old son Michael was initially reported missing in Oshkosh, Wis. The younger Philbin's body was recovered from the Fox River on Monday and authorities have said he was the victim of an accidental drowning.
While head coach Mike McCarthy is the Packers' primary play-caller, Philbin plays an important role on game day with what he can observe from the coaches' box that McCarthy may not be able to see at field level.
Funeral services for Michael Philbin were held Friday in Green Bay, with many members of the team and coaching staff in attendance.
