GREEN BAY, Wis. — Sunday’s debacle in Minnesota that saw quarterback Jordan Love absorb a stunning 18 hits is prompting the Green Bay Packers to spend the week reconfiguring the makeup of their offensive line.
They’re also receiving an assist from the improving health of right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, who played all 68 offensive snaps against the Vikings. It was his first extensive work since sustaining a partially torn patellar tendon in his knee in last season’s Dec. 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. The further he gets from the injury and the more repetitions he gains under his belt, the better off the Packers will be for it. It’ll also allow the coaching staff some added flexibility with their dilemma at both guard positions.
Bako-Bewele stabilizing the right side of the offensive line means the Packers can shift Anthony Belton back inside to right guard, which is where the second-round pick started eight games last season as a rookie.
