Packers’ offensive line shuffle continues with Banks and Monk getting ruled out for Buccaneers game

Green Bay, Wis. (AP) — The recent disruptions on the Green Bay Packers' offensive line have persisted, with guards Aaron Banks and Jacob Monk being ruled out for the team's upcoming game against the Buccaneers. Following the inclusion of veteran guards Kevin Zeitler, Laken Tomlinson, and Mekhi Becton earlier in the week, the Packers now face an uncertain future without Banks and Monk.

Both guards are currently sidelined due to knee and toe injuries, and Monk has a quadriceps issue that has prevented him from practicing throughout the week. This setback comes as the Packers' offensive line has been a significant concern since the beginning of the season, ranking last in the NFL in both rushing yards per game (48.7) and yards per carry (3.0).

Rookie Jager Burton has been called upon to replace Banks, while quarterback Jalon Daniels will start in place of the injured Baker Mayfield.
