3. Whoever is at right tackle

As of now, it’s unclear who the Packers’ starting right tackle will be on Sunday. Billy Turner was thought to be the favorite with Lane Taylor starting at right guard, but he’s battling an injury and might not play against the Vikings.

If he’s out, there’s no telling which way head coach Matt LaFleur will turn. He could start the guy they signed at tackle in the offseason, Rick Wagner, or he could go a more non-traditional route and move either Taylor or Elgton Jenkins to right tackle.

Whoever it is will have their hands full. It doesn’t appear like Danielle Hunter will suit up in this one, but the newly acquired Yannick Ngakoue is just as dangerous on the outside. Ngakoue has racked up at least eight sacks in each of his four seasons as a pro and will likely avoid the left side where David Bakhtiari roams. Whoever starts at right tackle must work extra hard to keep Rodgers’ pocket clean.
