Analysis:<\/p>\n

The Packers suffered a few key losses this offseason \u2014 QB Malik Willis, WR Romeo Doubs, OT Rasheed Walker, C Elgton Jenkins, DE Rashan Gary, LB Quay Walker, CB Nate Hobbs \u2014 but the core of their team is coming back.<\/p>\n

Second-round CB Brandon Cisse should help take Hobbs\u2019 place, fourth-round DE Dani Dennis-Sutton could take over Gary\u2019s spot, and Tyrod Taylor is as capable of a backup QB as Willis was.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Bears<\/a> 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\u2019 path to the playoffs even more difficult in 2026.<\/p>\n

Double-digit wins aren\u2019t out of the question, but sneaking into the playoffs will be difficult unless either Chicago or Detroit fail to live up to expectations.<\/p>\n
