Packers injury report: Four ruled out vs. Falcons; two more questionable

# What happened

Falcons and ruled out four players: wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck), right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele (knee), left guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe), and defensive lineman Warren Brinson (calf). Two defensive linemen — Javon Hargrave (knee/concussion) and Anthony Campbell (ankle) — are listed as questionable.

The ruled-out list removes starters and depth along both the offensive line and defensive front, and the questionable status of Hargrave and Campbell could leave Green Bay with a very small rotation up front if either is unavailable.

# How the roster shapes up for Thursday

• Aaron Banks is officially out after leaving the Week 2 game with a toe injury. He had been a game-time decision the previous day but was ruled out for the matchup. Donovan Jennings, who replaced Banks earlier in the season and has been upgraded to play, is the likely interior line replacement.

• Zach Bako-Bewele is ruled out with a knee injury. Anthony Belton, who filled in for Bako-Bewele in New York and returned to full participation on Wednesday, is expected to handle right tackle duties.

• Jayden Reed is out with a neck injury. Bo Melton was cleared and is available to help the receiving corps.

• Warren Brinson remains sidelined with a calf issue and has yet to appear in a regular-season game after injuring himself during preseason warmups.

• Javon Hargrave and Anthony Campbell are both questionable after limited practice this week. If either is inactive, the Packers may be reduced to Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, Jonathan Ford, and rookie Chris McClellan on the defensive line.

# Who's available

The Packers upgraded several players to full participation and cleared them to play: Bo Melton (neck), Anthony Belton (elbow), Donovan Jennings (hand), Edgerrin Cooper (shoulder), Brandon Cisse (teeth), and Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring). Belton and Jennings are the logical plug-and-play replacements on the offensive line.

# Risks and short-term implications

• Offensive line continuity: Losing Banks and Bako-Bewele forces Green Bay to reshuffle its line and rely on backups who have had limited time in live game snaps together. That can increase pressure on the quarterback and reduce rushing-room consistency.

• Defensive-line depth: With Hargrave and Campbell questionable and Brinson out, the Packers' 3-4 front could be short-handed. A thin front seven can impact pass rush and run defense late in the game.

• Roster flexibility: The team has at least one recent practice-squad addition (Eric Johnson II) who can be promoted if the depth hole on the defensive line widens.

# Bottom line
