Breaking down Packers' final injury report of Week 3 vs. Falcons - Packers Wire
The Green Bay Packers listed defensive linemen Javon Hargrave and Anthony Campbell as questionable to play and ruled out left guard Aaron Banks, right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, receiver Jayden Reed and defensive lineman Warren Brinson on the final injury report before facing the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3 of the 2026 season.
How will the injury situation affect Thursday night's showdown with the Falcons?
DL Javon Hargrave (knee/concussion): The veteran remains in the concussion protocol, but he was estimated as a limited participant this week, suggesting he's getting close to finishing the protocol. Hargrave missed last week while in the protocol. The Packers are hoping he'll be a disruptive force as an interior defender once he returns.
DL Anthony Campbell (ankle): The first-year defensive lineman hurt his ankle in New York. If Hargrave doesn't clear protocol, the Packers may need Campbell to play through the injury as the fifth defensive lineman behind Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, Jonathan Ford and Chris McClellan.
LG Aaron Banks (toe/knee): Banks will miss his second game in three weeks to start the season, this time because of a new toe injury. Backup options include Donovan Jennings and rookie Jager Burton, who both played last week after Banks went out. Jennings started Week 1; Burton finished the game last week.
RT Zach Bako-Bewele (knee): The Packers' starting right tackle tore his patellar tendon on Sunday at MetLife Stadium and will miss the rest of the season. Anthony Belton will start at right tackle against the Falcons; Bako-Bewele faces another long recovery from surgery on a significant injury.
WR Jayden Reed (neck): He suffered a neck injury against the Jets and has an uncertain return timeline. Expect Skyy Moore to play more snaps in the slot, and Bo Melton to play some on the perimeter in three-receiver sets when Christian Watson lines up inside.
DL Warren Brinson (calf): The second-year defensive lineman will miss his third straight game with a calf injury he suffered on Aug. 21.
The following players do not have a status designation on the final injury report and are good to go for Thursday night: offensive lineman Anthony Belton, cornerback Brandon Cisse, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, guard Donovan Jennings, receiver Bo Melton and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste.
Belton was a late add to the injury report this week with an elbow injury, while Cisse had a wisdom tooth extraction. Jennings and Melton will play despite suffering injuries against the Jets on Sunday. Jennings could start at left guard. St-Juste will return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury.
The Falcons placed cornerback A.J. Terrell on injured reserve and ruled out edge rusher Samson Ebukam. Per PFF, Ebukam leads the Falcons with eight pressures through two games.
