Packers Escape Denver Healthy, Special Teams Turnaround + O-Line Concerns

from PackersNow · host Ben Kurkowski

The Packers came out of Denver with a 33-10 win, but more importantly, they escaped a place that wrecked their 2025 season without a major injury.We break down the biggest takeaways from preseason game #2, including Kamal Hadden emerging as a legitimate option in the slot, Jonathan Ford's rise at nose tackle, and a defensive line that suddenly looks much deeper than expected.Then we get into what might be the biggest development of the preseason: could the Packers' special teams actually become a strength? Trey Smack remains perfect, Skyy Moore is providing a spark in the return game, and Cam Achord's unit continues to impress.Finally, Aaron Banks' knee issues bring us right back to the biggest concern on this roster: the offensive line. Could Green Bay shift back toward an outside-zone running game with its younger, more athletic linemen? And with Kevin Zeitler still available, should the Packers make one more move to protect Jordan Love?
