- Packers rule out 2 starting OL on final injury report of Week 3
The Green Bay Packers will be down two starting offensive linemen when they take on the Atlanta Falcons on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 3. The team ruled out left guard Aaron Banks due to a toe injury on the final injury report before the home opener, and right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele is out for the season after tearing his patellar tendon last Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
The Packers ruled out two other players: defensive lineman Warren Brinson , who will miss his third straight game, and receiver Jayden Reed , who injured his neck against the New York Jets last Sunday and has an uncertain return timeline.

Two players are questionable: defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (concussion) and defensive lineman Anthony Campbell (ankle). Hargrave is still working through the concussion protocol. Campbell was injured on Sunday against the Jets but was able to participate in some capacity this week. The Packers will hope one of the two can be active as the fifth defensive lineman against the Falcons.
The Packers will have right tackle Anthony Belton and guard Donovan Jennings , who do not have an injury designation and are expected to play against the Falcons. Belton will start at right tackle in place of Bako-Bewele, while Jennings could be the starter at left guard with Banks out.
Cornerback Brandon Cisse is also good to go after having a wisdom tooth extracted this week. The Packers should also return veteran corner Benjamin St-Juste , who missed last week's game with a hamstring injury.
The Falcons placed cornerback A.J. Terrell on injured reserve and ruled out edge rusher Samson Ebukam.
