GREEN BAY, Wis. — One of the questions in Packers Training Camp is how the offensive line will shake out. The men who will be in charge of protecting Jordan Love (assuming his contract extension gets worked out) will be an important group.
Jordan Morgan was the Packers’ first round draft pick, but where he ends up on the offensive line is still uncertain.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” said Morgan. “I just want to get better at all the positions they put me at. Right now, I’m playing right guard. That’s one of the positions I need to get better at, so being right there it’s easier for me to lock in and stay focused.”
“Time will tell,” said Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur. “Obviously, you'd like a home for him, but I do think that we've seen the value in cross-training these guys. It happens every year where you got to move guys, in order to get the top five out there and, he's certainly capable of doing whatever we asked him to do.”
The versatility of Zach Tom gives the Packers some options. He’s just off the Physically Unable to Perform List after a torn pectoral muscle. I asked him if he had a preference where he lined up.
“No, I mean, I just I play wherever they need me,” said Tom. “I wouldn't say I have any preference.”
On the defensive side of the ball, second round rookie Javon Bullard is contending for a starting spot at safety.
“If God want me to start, man, of course I want to play,” said Bullard. “Of course I'm not going to shy away from that. Of course I want to play. I mean, who doesn't we at the highest level of football? So of course I want to play.”
On Wednesday, LaFleur said that wide receiver Jayden Reed had come off the non-football injury list from a toe injury.
