Packers' offensive tackles face strong challenge from Jets edge rushers

Summary

The Green Bay Packers will face a significant test when they play the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Packers offensive tackles Jordan Morgan and Zach Bako-Bewele struggled in their season debut, allowing eight total pressures, and must improve against Jets edge rushers Will McDonald IV and David Bailey, who had strong performances in Week 1. McDonald recorded a sack and a 40 percent pass-rush win rate, while Bailey had six pressures in his NFL debut. Morgan and Bako-Bewele's ability to handle this pressure will be crucial for the Packers' passing game. There are concerns over McDonald's ankle injury from practice, which could impact his effectiveness on Sunday.
