Brian Gutekunst confirms Packers tackle Zach Tom had offseason surgery

The Packers currently have Desmond Ridder and Kyle McCord as backups to Jordan Love, but have evaluated the prospects and will explore adding more.

“There’s some good players in this draft,” Gutekunst said. “And if we have an opportunity to add to that room, we will.”

Packers plan to beef up cornerback room

Gutekunst said he feels good about most of the starters and the depth of the team.

While the Packers will need to add depth at nose tackle and on the offensive line, cornerback will be high on the priority list.

The Packers released Nate Hobbs after one season and signed Benjamin St-Juste this offseason. It will be crucial for the team to have more bodies to join Carrington Valentine and Keisean Nixon.

“I’m interested to see with our new coaching staff, how they adapt to what we ask them to do, but we do need to add some numbers there,” Gutekunst said. “From a numbers perspective, as we sit here today, we need to add the most numbers, so we’ll see how it goes.”
