Aaron Banks has returned to Green Bay Packers training camp, participating in 11-on-11 drills for the first time. His performance is crucial as he competes for a starting offensive line position against 2026 draft pick Jager Burton and Jacob Monk. Despite being a $77 million signing, Banks's spot is uncertain following a disappointing tenure. The competition for playing time could extend into the regular season as Banks seeks to reclaim his role. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur plans to assess playing time in the final preseason games.
