Packers GM Brian Gutekunst provided an update that should ease the minds of fans keeping a close eye on the offensive line. Speaking with reporters earlier this afternoon in advance of the NFL Draft, Gutekunst confirmed that standout right tackle Zach Tom underwent surgery following the season to repair a patellar tendon injury that caused him to miss the last five games of the season. The good news? All signs point to a smooth recovery.

“Fortunately for him, he’ll be ready to roll as we get going,” Gutekunst said, signaling optimism that Tom will be ready when the Packers kick off training camp later this summer.

Tom has been a critical piece of Green Bay’s offensive front, providing versatility and consistency across multiple positions. Any uncertainty surrounding his availability would have raised significant questions about depth and continuity for a group that needs to play at a much higher and more consistent level in 2026.

While recovery timelines can always shift, the early outlook is encouraging.
