Green Bay Packers 2026 Training Camp Preview: A Tough Road to the Playoffs

With several teams kicking off their organized team activities this week, the NFL offseason is in full swing. Teams have OTAs sprinkled in over the next three weeks before a month-long break until training camp begins in mid-to-end July. We’ll be reviewing the major offseason changes for all 32 teams in addition to previewing what to expect from each team as they head into training camp. Below is our 2026 training camp preview for the Green Bay Packers.

Second-round CB Brandon Cisse should help take Hobbs’ place, fourth-round DE Dani Dennis-Sutton could take over Gary’s spot, and Tyrod Taylor is as capable of a backup QB as Willis was.

But Green Bay is tied for the third-toughest schedule in the NFL next season (opponents have a combined .538 win percentage from last season), and the team plays in one of the toughest divisions in football. The Chicago Bears are the reigning NFC North champion, and most expect the Detroit Lions to be back to their winning ways from the season before, making the Packers’ path to the playoffs even more difficult in 2026. Double-digit wins aren’t out of the question, but sneaking into the playoffs will be difficult unless either Chicago or Detroit fail to live up to expectations.
