RT Anthony Belton Added to Injury Report
While Green Bay did not practice fully on Tuesday, Belton was a surprise addition to the injury report, listed as a limited participant with an elbow injury. The extent of Belton's injury isn't yet known, but the Packers are counting on him to fill the void left behind by Bako-Bewele.
In place of Bako-Bewele last week, Belton played 56 snaps, allowing three pressures and three hurries, while committing two penalties, though one was declined. He finished with a 60.5 pass-blocking grade and a 51.3 run-blocking grade , per Pro Football Focus, ahead of only center Sean Rhyan (56.9, 51.2) for the lowest grades among Packers o-linemen who played at least 50 snaps.

On Tuesday, head coach Matt LaFleur said about Belton, " I would anticipate him being out there, but we still got 48 hours. "
LG Aaron Banks Did Not Participate on Tuesday
After leaving Sunday's game early, Packers left guard Aaron Banks did not participate Tuesday with knee and toe injuries. Banks missed the season opener with knee tendinitis, which has plagued him since the offseason, but he appears to have another injury to add to the list.

Banks being inactive on Tuesday doesn't rule him out for Thursday, as he was a last-minute start in Week 2. However, the best ability in the NFL is availability, and the sixth-year veteran has proven so far this season that he can't be counted on.
On Tuesday, LaFleur said Banks would have "up to game time" to show he can play.
Rookie Jager Burton is in line to replace Banks if he can't play against the Falcons. The former Kentucky standout shined in training camp, but has played sparingly despite the Packers' o-line woes.

Last week, Burton played 23 snaps in place of Banks at left guard, allowing zero pressures with a 61.2 pass-blocking grade and a 50.9 run-blocking grade.
