Packers issue injury report ahead of Falcons matchup
Green Bay listed several players as non-participants for Monday’s practice and identified injuries on both offensive and defensive lines as they prepare to face Atlanta.
Green Bay did not hold a practice on Monday as it prepares for Thursday’s game against Atlanta, while the Falcons completed a walkthrough, according to the league’s official injury report. The Packers’ coaching staff declined to speak to the media on Monday and will address questions on Tuesday.
The report lists right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele (knee), left guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe), defensive linemen Warren Brinson (calf) and Anthony Campbell (ankle), offensive lineman Donovan Jennings (hand) and receiver Jayden Reed (neck) as non-participants. Several of these players missed Week 2 action, and the team may move Bako-Bewele and Reed to injured reserve.
Cornerback Brandon Cisse (teeth), linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (shoulder) and defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (knee/concussion) were expected to be limited if a practice had taken place. Both Cisse and Cooper played on Sunday, while Hargrave missed Week 2 and was listed as a non-participant in Friday’s practice, suggesting progress in his recovery.
Other participants included receiver Bo Melton (neck) and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring); Melton’s injury had not been previously disclosed, and St-Juste did not play on Sunday. Quarterback Jordan Love, who reported numbness in his throwing hand after a hit against the Jets, was not listed on the injury report.
For Atlanta, edge defender Samson Ebukam (hamstring) and cornerback A.J. Terrell (groin) were the only non-participants, both being regular starters.
