Packers Coach Drops Surprising Hint About Jordan Morgan’s Unexpected Role This Season

Injuries are the cruelest curveballs a team can face, and boy, the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line is feeling that sting early this 2025 season. With Zach Tom sidelined by an oblique injury and Aaron Banks wrestling with a nagging groin issue, the spotlight’s inevitably shifting to the younger crew — enter second-year lineman Jordan Morgan. Now here’s a question: can a guy juggling multiple positions on the line become the glue that holds this patchwork unit together? Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich thinks so, calling Morgan “one of our better guys” and signaling a vote of confidence that he’s up to the challenge. As the Packers brace for a less ferocious Dallas defense this week, Morgan’s poised to gain crucial reps — and maybe even prove that sometimes adversity breeds the most versatile stars. So, while fans itch for their starters to return, could this be the season Morgan carves out a vital role, or is it just another band-aid moment for a struggling front? Let’s dive in.

The Green Bay Packers are facing some major injuries to their offensive line early in the season.

Zach Tom has an oblique injury that has kept him sidelined, and Aaron Banks’ groin injury continues to be a concern.

While Packers fans would like to see all of these players back on the field, it could be an opportunity for younger players on the team to get an opportunity.

This is certainly the case for second-year lineman Jordan Morgan, who offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich talked about in a recent press conference shared by analyst Ryan Wood on X.

“He’s one of our better guys. So if there was an injury anywhere, we want to put him there to fill the gap,” Stenavich said.

Stenavich noted that a player as young as Morgan should be exposed to multiple positions on the line early in his career, hoping he can turn into a versatile option for them.

Getting this experience could prove vital to his place on this team, and as long as Tom and Banks are sidelined, Morgan will get valuable playing time.

Playing Dallas this week certainly helps, as their pass-rush isn’t nearly as potent and explosive as the Cleveland Browns were last week.

Morgan and his teammates will still have their hands full with former teammate Kenny Clark, who can be a game-wrecker in his own right if they’re not careful.

It will be interesting to see how this offensive line adapts to the struggles they found last week, and if they’ll be healthier coming out of the bye to give them the best possible chance against the best teams in the league.
