The entered the 2020 offseason with some pretty obvious needs. They had a glaring lack of playmakers on the perimeter, and badly needed to find a complement to at the wide receiver spot. Pretty much everyone agreed on this. Everyone except, of course, the Packers themselves. Green Bay's only addition of note at receiver was , who ended up opting out Austria Jersey of the season due to COVID-19. Instead, the Packers made additions to boost their run game, drafting A.J. Dillon in the second and H-back in the fourth. (They also traded up to draft their quarterback of the future in the first Australia Jersey , but that's a conversation for another day.)But prior to making those draft picks, the Packers let one of the best run-blocking tackles in the NFL () leave in free agency. Bulaga got a deal with the , and the Packers signed former and tackle in his place. Wagner struggled in all aspects of the game last season, but even at his best he was often better in pa s protection than the run game, so he made for a bit of an odd addition given the direction the Packers apparently wanted to shift the offense.Wagner struggled a bit with injuries during camp, but he was also apparently behind in the for Green Bay's starting right tackle job. Wagner last week, but was apparently still just in Sevilla Jersey a competition for one of the two spots on the right side of the line. Now, though, Turner has of his own, and there's a po sibility that neither he nor Wagner is actually ready for Week 1.One of the moves Packers coach Matt LaFleur is apparently is moving second-year guard outside to tackle, simply to get the on the field for the season opener."I think we're looking at every combination," LaFleur said while confirming Jenkins is an option at Africa Jersey right tackle, per The Athletic. "The goal is to always get your best five out there. We'll look at everything." is presumably another po sibility at tackle, but all of these decisions are complicated by injuries to the two guys who would appear to be the top options at the position. They don't nece sarily seem like candidates for injured reserve, so figuring out who is going to make the roster at all has to play into it, as well.With the Packers already a candidate for regre sion after finishing 13-3 with the point differential of a 9.7-win team last year, i sues along the offensive Aston Villa Jersey line could push them back even further.
