Offensive line (10): David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan Jr., Zach Tom, Rasheed Walker, Yosh Nijman, Caleb Jones, Sean Rhyan, Royce Newman

Cut: Luke Tenuta, Jake Hanson, James Empey, Cole Schneider, Jean Delance, Kadeem Telfort

There were some questions about the offensive line early on, but, for better or worse, it’s settled down and there shouldn’t be a ton of question marks heading into August 29.

Bakhtiari, Jenkins, Myers, Runyan, Tom, Walker, and Nijman are all roster locks. They are clearly the Packers’ top seven offensive linemen and give them an excellent group. Caleb Jones’ return from injury will be helpful, and the team believes in his long-term potential.

The interior of the offensive line has a lot more to prove. Rhyan and Newman have had some quality moments during training camp and preseason, but have also had their fair share of struggles. The issue is the Packers haven’t had anyone else emerge to overtake them.
