Breaking down Packers' final injury report of Week 3 vs. Falcons
Breaking down the final injury report for the Packers before playing the Falcons in Week 3.
Green Bay Packers revealed their final injury report ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Defensively, linebackers Javon Hargrave and Anthony Campbell were questionable to play, while guards Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele, receiver Jayden Reed, and defensive lineman Warren Brinson were ruled out. Hargrave, who missed last week due to a concussion, is in the concussion protocol but expected to be a limited participant.
Campbell may need to play through his ankle injury as a fifth defensive lineman. Banks will miss his second game due to a new toe injury, with backup options Donovan Jennings and Jager Burton. Bako-Bewele suffered a serious knee injury and will miss the season. Reed is uncertain to return due to a neck injury. Brinson will miss his third consecutive game with a calf injury.
Notably, Anthony Belton, Brandon Cisse, Edgerrin Cooper, Donovan Jennings, Bo Melton, and Benjamin St-Juste are fully cleared to play. Belton, a late addition, had an elbow injury, and Cisse was recovering from wisdom tooth extraction. Jennings and Melton will play despite their previous injuries. The Falcons placed cornerback A.J.
Terrell on injured reserve and ruled out edge rusher Samson Ebukam, who has been the team's leading pressure leader.
