Packers’ grades at halfway point: Offensive Line: B

The Packers’ offensive line has done their darndest despite not yet having David Bakhtiari for a snap, losing Elgton Jenkins for a couple of games and losing Josh Myers to the injured reserve toward the end of October.

It’s not their best performance we’ve seen, but their depth is evident as they continue to enact the next-man-up mantra. Jenkins has been the stud of the unit no matter what position he plays and his future is extremely bright. The Packers can basically plug him in anywhere and he’ll be one of their best linemen.

With the exception of fourth-rounder Royce Newman–who has had more than his fair share of rookie struggles through nine starts–everyone else has been solid. This unit will get a tremendous boost when Bakhtiari returns and they’ll be ready to take their game to the next level.
