The Green Bay Packers entered their season opener against the Minnesota Vikings without two key players. Running back Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List and cannot practice or play until a return date is set. Edge rusher Micah Parsons remains on the reserve/physically unable to perform list due to a torn ACL. Neither player received a standard game designation.
The Packers officially listed left guard Aaron Banks, right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, and linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper as questionable, with Banks recovering from knee tendinitis and Bako-Bewele returning from patellar tendon surgery. Quarterback Jordan Love is healthy and listed as a borderline QB1 or strong QB2 due to the tough matchup against Minnesota's defense.
The Packers' tight target distribution makes him a risky QB1 start. MarShawn Lloyd is expected to lead the backfield with Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson, and is projected as an RB2 or flex play. The offensive-line questions add risk, as Banks and Bako-Bewele's injuries could weaken continuity for the offense.
