Matt LaFleur and his coaches will have tough calls to make about playing time on offense, but for the reason you’d hope: too many good options.

Now that the Green Bay Packers finally have Elgton Jenkins back on the field and their full complement of offensive linemen available, it’s time for the position battles to begin in earnest. With second-year pro Jordan Morgan finally able to compete for a starting job at two different positions, it should make the rest of this training camp a fun one for OL coach Luke Butkus and the rest of the offensive coaching staff....

Jared Bartlett, the newest Green Bay Packer, is the younger brother of former Pittsburgh Steeler defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt.

The Green Bay Packers have signed linebacker Jared Bartlett, just one day after they brought in another linebacker — Michael Batton — in for a workout. Green Bay apparently wanted to bump the number up in that position group, which, before the Barlett signing, had seven players.

At the moment, the expectation is that Quay Walker, Edgerrin Cooper, Isaiah McDuffie, Isaiah Simmons and Ty’Ron Hopper will make the 53-man roster. From there, the Packers will have to make the decision on...

It’s seventh round veteran vs. relatively untested first round pick

Elgton Jenkins’ return to the lineup meant two things for the Packers. First, Jenkins taking up residence at center gave the Packers a look at their incumbent offensive line for the first time. The left to right lineup of Rasheed Walker, Aaron Banks, Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan, and Zach Tom had yet to appear together in training camp, but the picture is now complete.

For now, at least. Because with Jenkins back on the field, there’s a second development. Jenkins playing center means that Sean Rhyan can slide back to...

“How many guys nowadays are gonna do that? I don’t think there’s many of them. So, chances are, the guy’s gonna succeed.”

Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is a big fan of receiver-turned-cornerback Bo Melton. After dabbling at playing both receiver and cornerback earlier this offseason, Melton has made the full transition to cornerback in training camp, complete with a number change and his position adjusted on the Packers’ official website.

When Hafley was asked about Melton’s position swap, going into Year 4 of his NFL career, he explained that Melton’s athletic ability matches well with the high...

“I really don’t care. We might have six or seven guys playing in a game consistently.”

Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator and former offensive line coach Adam Stenavich met with the press during training camp for the first time on Wednesday. Obviously, the big question this summer on his side of the ball is who will be the team’s starting five linemen come Week 1.

Leading up to camp, the Packers had described the left tackle position as “an open competition” between the incumbent, Rasheed Walker, and 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan. Due to injuries that left guard Aaron Banks...

You always count on your stars to be great, but you need more than that.

Everyone expects the Packers’ stars to play like, well, stars. That’s why they’re paid the big bucks and get all the attention. Jordan Love should play like an elite quarterback. Rashan Gary should be an elite edge rusher. Zach Tom should be an elite tackle. And so on.

But teams depend on their non-stars just as much, if not more. The bulk of a given roster isn’t going to be made up of stars, but you still need solid contributions week in and week out,...

Cornerback is the toughest position to call for Green Bay at this point in the summer.

The last time we did a 53-man roster projection was after the 2025 NFL Draft, before we ever saw any of the newest Green Bay Packers go through a full practice with the team. Since the news from voluntary workouts, minicamp and a week of training camp, though, we have a much better feel for how this roster is going to shake out.

With all that being said, let’s take a crack at another 53-man roster projection after this new information. We’ll go through...

Michael Batton has played at four colleges since being a high school quarterback in Texas.

According to the NFL’s transaction report, the Green Bay Packers worked out linebacker Michael Batton on Tuesday. The very athletic, but undersized, linebacker has an interesting background.

The former high school quarterback got his start in college football at Houston Christian before transferring to Nassau Community College in New York for the 2021 season. After a year there, he transferred to Louisiana-Monroe, the rival school to where his father played linebacker in college, Louisiana-Lafayette.

After two seasons at ULM, he returned closer to home to...

Tom’s four-year extension will play out like a two-year deal with two team options for Green Bay.

Over the Cap has received the full contract details of right tackle Zach Tom’s new contract extension with the Green Bay Packers. As reported, it is indeed a four-year extension worth a total of $88 million in new money.

As expected, the only fully guaranteed money comes in the form of a signing bonus, which is worth $30.2 million. The other $58 million is essentially pay-as-you-go from the Packers’ perspective, but some of that money is more likely to be earned by Tom...

Lloyd is dealing with a non-contact groin injury after four separate issues led to him playing just one regular season game as a rookie.

“Unfortunate” is the term that Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur used to explain running back MarShawn Lloyd’s injury in his pre-practice press conference. Lloyd, a second-year third-round pick, only played in one regular-season game as a rookie last year due to a series of medical issues, including appendicitis and injuries to his hip, hamstring and ankle.

Now, Lloyd has a groin issue that he apparently sustained on Monday. At first, it was believed that...

The Packers’ multi-talented offensive lineman has put his contract issues behind him.

On the Packers’ first day of padded practice, the focus was mainly on a guy who wasn’t in pads.

Elgton Jenkins ended his holdout/hold-in/stint on the NFI list Monday, returning to practice after missing the start of camp and essentially the entire offseason over a contract dispute — a contract dispute that wasn’t really about the money.

We’ve been over this a few times already at APC (look here and here), but it bears repeating: Jenkins’ dispute wasn’t about cashflow, it was about security. No matter how much...

Jenkins is already slated to be compensated like the second-highest-paid interior offensive lineman on a multi-year contract next year.

The Green Bay Packers’ guard-turned-center Elgton Jenkins wanted a new contract this offseason, which is why he never took a snap with the team this summer until Monday, when he was activated off the non-football injury list. That is truth.

What I will push back on, though, is this narrative that Jenkins’ contract issue stemmed from what type of money he’ll make at the center position compared to guard.

Below is a tweet from Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber, who I believe...
