Packers Rasheed Walker Wins Starting Left Tackle Spot for Season Opener

As the Green Bay Packers prepare to open their 2025 NFL season at home against divisional rival Detroit Lions, several key roster decisions have been finalized. Newly acquired defensive end Micah Parsons has been named a starter opposite Rashan Gary, adding a significant boost to the Packers' defense. On the offensive line, Rasheed Walker won the starting left tackle position over first-round pick Jordan Morgan, despite a groin injury during training camp. Walker, who has started 35 games over the past two seasons, expressed confidence in his role and the team's Super Bowl prospects with Parsons on board. Head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the close competition but ultimately trusted Walker's experience and consistency to protect quarterback Jordan Love. Meanwhile, Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is set to return from a leg injury as the Lions prepare for their season opener against the Packers.
