Veteran linemen expected to ‘settle things down’ for Packers up front (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GREEN BAY – It's been a good news-bad news week for quarterback Jordan Love and the Packers' offense thus far. On the plus side, the offensive line has seen an influx of veteran players in an effort to turn the unit's fortunes around, the latest being 15th-year guard Kevin Zeitler, who joins Monday additions Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton Sr. as reinforcements up front. The downer is the news that receiver Jayden Reed's season is over, as the slot weapon and locker room leader needs surgery on
Mike's Mid-Week Chat: Will the Packers' new linemen play right away? (opens the original)

Hey everybody, welcome to Week 4's mid-week chat. I see questions coming in already so I'll just get started. Best wishes to Jayden Reed for a full recovery. Amen. Tough deal for Bird. Everyone's gonna miss him. Definitely wish him the best. You and all of Packer Nation. After all this time, a Wisconsin "kid" gets to play for the Packers.

Both are former first-round draft picks who have bounced around to different teams in recent years. Head Coach Matt LaFleur didn't say both would step in to play immediately – Becton would have to be el

Well, at least you won't have to hear how terrible the Packers looked on Sunday. So, you've got that going for you. Hi Mike, are you able to check your pulse while live blogging? That was a new one. What a meme. But to answer your question, my fingers don't leave the keyboard long enough. Good morning, Mike! I had some free time on Sunday so I started scanning other teams' practice squads. I'm curious if you know five or so things about Laken Tomlinson? He's a longtime veteran who hopefully can
