Packers GM Gutekunst on Draft, Tom's Recovery

0:00On April 21st, Green Bay Packers General Manager Brian Guteklinst just dropped some key updates ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft from April 23rd to 25th. He confirmed starting right tackles Zack Tom, had off-season surgery for a partially torn patellar tendon he got in week 14 against the Denver Broncos, sidelining him the rest of last season. With a six month recovery, the team expects Tom back strong for training camp, calling it a fortunate timeline to get him rolling early. Guteklinst is wide open to drafting a quarterback too, especially after losing backup Malik Willis to the Miami Dolphins in free agency. Right now, they've got Desmond Ritter and Kyle McCord behind Jordan Love, but he's eyeing prospects to beef up that room since there are solid players, available. Meanwhile, Cornerback is a top priority for adding numbers. They release Nate Hobbs after one year, signed Benjamin St. Juiced, and need more depth alongside Carrington, Valentine, and Kaizen and Nixon, even as they.
