The Green Bay Packers are set to face the Chicago Bears on October 8, 2026, as they look to bolster their struggling run game. Recent adjustments to the offensive line, including the addition of Laken Tomlinson, Travis Glover, and anticipated starter Kevin Zeitler, have shown promise after improving their status from the league's worst to 'among the worst'. Despite challenges, quarterback Jordan Love has managed to throw eight touchdowns this season. The Packers hope these changes will lead to a more balanced offensive attack and longer drives, benefiting their defense, which has faced issues with time of possession.
