The Green Bay Packers blew out the Bears in Week 5 action that had media including Mina Kimes sharing Jordan Love's latest secret. The Packers have issues in the trenches including on defense with the latest Micah Parsons update and Javon Hargrave's season-ending injury.

Coach Matt LaFleur's team has gotten proactive in fixing the situation according to NFL insider Jordan Schulz, who revealed the newest potential Packer.

“The Packers, after losing DT Javon Hargrave to a torn Achilles on Sunday, had former Patriots DT Isaiah Iton for a workout today and had him take a physical, per source. Green Bay is scanning the market for DT help.”

Iton played college football at Rutgers and was signed in July. He was waived due to injury in September of this year. He went unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft and spent time on the Tennessee Titans' practice squad before joining the Patriots and being released.

The Packers held Ben Johnson's vaunted Bears offense to seven points and 246 yards in a 31-7 Week 5 beatdown that many felt coach LaFleur took personally. Strong defensive play from pass-rusher Lukas Van Ness and other members of the Packers' Jonathan Gannon led defense have led the way as the Packers have recaptured the fire they had in previous seasons.

Week 6 brings a game against the Cowboys at home followed by a Week 7 game on the road against the Detroit Lions that looks like a challenging one after Week 5's Detroit win over the Cardinals. The Packers could use extra help to slow down the Cowboys, and record-setting running back Jahmyr Gibbs as the season continues.
