Quarterback Jordan Love has fared well in his first year as a starter, considering the lack of consistency in the makeup of his offensive line. He should be able to get a bit more centered now as, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, the Packers’ offensive line is expected to be intact once again. 
At least, mostly intact; as intact as it’s going to be for the rest of this season. With veteran left tackle David Bakhtiari expected to miss the remainder of the year, there will still be one big absence throughout the rest of the season. Besides that, Love should be getting all of his starting protection back in the lineup.
Right tackle Zach Tom and center Josh Myers have held down the fort, starting every game so far this season with left tackle Rasheed Walker joining them after the injury to Bakhtiari. They will be rejoined by left guard Elgton Jenkins and right guard Jon Runyan this week.
Jenkins has missed the Packers’ last two games after suffering a sprained MCL. The knee injury had the potential to be much more serious, so a two-game absence is an absolute win for Green Bay. Runyan hasn’t missed any games but has been dealing with an ankle injury suffered during Thursday Night Football last week. He was forced to miss a few practices and was in danger of missing this week’s game but is reportedly primed to start.
Additionally, second-year wide receiver Christian Watson, who played through a questionable status from his hamstring injury last week, has finally made his way off the injury report. Watson should be able to play with no restrictions from now on, providing Love with another weapon to target moving forward.
The fact that the Packer’s GM decided to draft Van Ness in round 1 instead of drafting an offensive lineman to protect his young “franchise QB” is criminal. They knew Bakhtiari was still questionable with that knee and that there was a very good chance this would be his last year in Green Bay anyway. To pick an edge rusher who you plan to have as a backup to your current ones over an offensive tackle who can protect your young QB for years to come is malfeasance.
They felt confident going into the season with Bak, Tom, Nijman and Walker already on the roster. And don’t forget, Jenkins can also slide out to LT if needed. Their depth at edge wasn’t good, considering Preston Smith is on the final year of his contract. I’m sure they will look into adding more depth to the O-Line in the next draft since they will have an additional 2nd round pick from the A-Rod trade.
