Packers OC says Jordan Morgan 'ready' for left tackle, clarifies roles
Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich believes Jordan Morgan was ready to play left tackle a year ago, and clarified some other roles on the O-line.
The offensive line was an unexpected Achilles heel for the Green Bay Packers in 2025, as a group that had been a pillar of consistency for a decade plus endured a rocky season. It was a combination of new faces being inserted into the lineup – whether it was a highly paid vet like Aaron Banks or inexperienced players like Jordan Morgan and Anthony Belton – and a constant game of musical chairs, mostly caused by injuries, that led to a subpar year for the O-line. The issues Green Bay had up front showed up in their inability to slam the door shut when holding close leads late in games, particularly in the playoff loss to Chicago.
After an offseason of change, with Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins moving on and Jager Burton added via the draft, the roles seem more defined in the offensive line room entering 2026. Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich discussed the O-line at length when meeting with the media on Monday and confirmed some suspicions about how the starting five is expected to look this year. Morgan is expected to move over to left tackle, which is where he played in college and a position he performed well in spot duty at the end of 2025, having previously filled in at guard during his first two years in the NFL.
On the move to left tackle, Stenavich said: “I’m excited about him being over there. I thought last year he showed flashes of being able to be a good left tackle in this league when we had him out there. “Last year, Rasheed (Walker) was out for a little while in preseason, so we moved Jordan to left tackle and he did a great job.
He played in preseason against some pretty good defensive linemen from the Colts, and I saw him play and I was like: ‘Yeah he’s ready’. “We had to use him in other spots last year because that's what was best for the team but I’m excited for him this year and what he's gonna do. " Based on what we have heard from not only Stenavich but also head coach Matt LaFleur, it sounds very much like Morgan essentially beat out Walker for the left tackle job last year, but had to be moved because of injuries, with Walker more of a one-position player.
