Jordan Morgan didn’t need much prompting to address Ben Johnson’s shot at the Packers. The Green Bay left tackle made it clear the Bears coach’s “F*** the Packers” comment has landed in the locker room, and not in a way anyone in green and gold has shrugged off.
“Yeah. I mean, he’s dissing us.
He’s dissing the Packers,” Morgan said. “A lot of people in here, I’m pretty sure, take that to heart.
And we got a chance to prove to everybody on Sunday that we the best team.”
That sets the stage for a heated Week 5 matchup at Lambeau Field, where Green Bay will host Chicago with both teams carrying very different early-season records. The Packers are 2-2, while the Bears come in at 3-1 riding a three-game winning streak.
For Morgan, the spotlight is even bigger. He’s now handling full-time blindside duties for Jordan Love, which puts his work against Chicago’s pass rush under the microscope. If the Packers are going to channel Johnson’s words into something useful, the line has to come out ready from the first snap.
The first month has been plenty demanding for Morgan in the expanded role. He’s played 253 offensive snaps over four games while helping stabilize a line that has already dealt with changes and injuries. But the numbers also show the growing pains: 14 pressures allowed, two sacks given up and four penalties.
That’s the balancing act Green Bay is living with right now. The Packers have not found much rhythm on the ground, and Morgan’s performance against Chicago could loom large. The chance is there for Green Bay to respond, but only the field will settle it.

Packers Suddenly Have New Offensive Line Questions This Week
The Packers latest injury report brought a fresh layer of uncertainty to a group that has already been under the microscope, with four players listed as non-participants and both Chris Brooks and Aaron Banks among them. For a team trying to keep its offense on schedule, any week that adds turnover up front or in the backfield tends to draw immediate attention, especially as the practice week starts to take shape.
Savion Williams at least offered a bit of movement on the other side of the ledger, as he returned to practice and opened his 21-day window to come off injured reserve. The bigger issue now is how Green Bay manages the rest of the week while Chicago deals with its own long injury list, because the Packers preparation could hinge on which pieces are actually available when the division matchup gets closer.

Packers Suddenly Have A Familiar Backfield Option Fans Will Recognize
The Packers ground game has been searching for a spark through four games, and the numbers have reflected it. Green Bays current running backs have averaged three yards per carry, with MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and Chris Brooks combining for 231 rushing yards on 75 carries, a production line that leaves plenty of room for improvement as the team tries to settle into its 2-2 start.
One familiar name now hovering around the conversation is Jamaal Williams, who last played for the Saints in 2024 and recently worked out with the Patriots while reportedly looking good. For Packers fans, the idea of a reunion is easy to understand: Williams would bring a known presence to the backfield and a jolt of energy to the locker room at a time when Josh Jacobs status remains uncertain.

Jordan Love Gives Packers Fans A Reason To Believe Before Bears Week
Jordan Love has given Green Bay something it has been waiting for at the most important position on the field: steady, efficient quarterback play. As the NFC North turns toward Week 5, the Packers are watching a division landscape shaped by uneven quarterback performances, with Minnesota winning despite Kyler Murrays struggles and Chicago leaning on Tyson Bagent as part of an offense that has found ways to function. In that mix, Loves improved efficiency stands out as a reason Packers fans can believe the offense is moving in the right direction.
The timing matters because the Bears are not just surviving on offense, they have had real success doing it, which makes this week a useful measuring stick for Green Bay. Minnesotas formula has been built more on defense than quarterback production, while Murray is still auditioning for the long-term contract questions hanging over him. Love does not have to settle every debate in one Sunday, but he does need to keep showing that the Packers have stability where their division rivals still have uncertainty. [Read more 🡒]
