Green Bay Packers bench Jeff Saturday

Packers bench Saturday

Jeff Saturday has been benched for the Green Bay Packers' game against the Tennessee Titans later today.

The five-time Pro Bowl center makes way for Evan Dietrich-Smith.

The 37-year-old told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: "I've graded out well. You win 10 games, you win the division. So I've got no complaints with that.

"I told Dietrich, I fully support it, man. I have a ton of respect for him as a player. I think he'll do a good job.

"We're at two totally different points in our career. His is on the up ramp, mine is on the way out."

The Packers have already sealed the NFC North title after beating the Chicago Bears last weekend.
