Green Bay Packers offensive line developments

Overview

During the 2026 training camp, veteran left guard Aaron Banks was sidelined by a knee injury, missing all team drills. Despite the setback, Banks expressed optimism that the Green Bay Packers' offensive line could become the best in the league.

By mid-August, Banks faced scrutiny regarding his performance and contract value. Following a four-year, $77 million deal signed in March 2025, he was named to CBS Sports’ ‘All-Overpaid Team’ for 2026. Analysts highlighted that he allowed 23 quarterback pressures and received a Pro Football Focus offensive grade of 56.5, ranking 55th among 79 qualified guards. His availability continued to be impacted by knee tendinitis.
