Packers reportedly sign guard Kevin Zeitler, completely overhauling offensive line after poor start

The Packers are already making big changes on their offensive line.

The Green Bay Packers have reportedly signed veteran guard Kevin Zeitler to a one-year deal, as the team continues to overhaul its offensive line following a poor start to the 2026 regular season. At 36 years old, Zeitler spent last season with the Tennessee Titans, starting all 16 games in which he played. According to Pro Football Focus' metrics, he ranked as the 13th best guard in football last season.

This signing comes shortly after the Packers added guards Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton. With these additions, the Packers now have three veteran offensive linemen signed ahead of Week 4. The team's struggles on offense are evident, as they have the worst rushing output and pass protection metrics of any team through three games.

The Packers have allowed 51 pressures following their Week 3 game, an extremely high figure. These issues have affected every part of the offense, leading to Green Bay ranking 22nd in points per game this season. While the signings may help the Packers salvage their season, it remains unclear if the trio will be capable of turning things around.
