Packers explore larger offensive line strategy with mixed results

The Green Bay Packers are analyzing their offensive line adjustments after a disappointing 2025 season. General manager Brian Gutekunst emphasized the team's intentionality in increasing line size, resulting in their heaviest unit during Matt LaFleur's tenure. However, metrics show a decline in their rushing performance, with average yards per carry dropping from 4.7 to 4.1. Injuries further complicated depth, as preferred starters rarely played together, leaving availability in question as the squad prepares for OTAs and minicamp. Changes are anticipated in 2026, including potential lineup shifts as some players recover from injuries.
