Packers injuries pile up
Why you should care:
The Packers (1-1) are coming off their first win of the season, an overtime victory at the New York Jets, and looking to build momentum – or at least stay healthy – in their first home game of the regular season.
Wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck) and offensive tackle Zach Bako-Bewele (knee) were carted off the field on back-to-back plays on the opening drive against the Jets. Guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe) and his replacement, Donovan Jennings (hand), also left the game due to injury.

Bako-Bewele said he fully tore the patellar tendon in his right knee and faces a nine-month recovery, but the team has not placed him on injured reserve. Head coach Matt LaFleur said it's "way too early" to know if Reed will return this season.
Twelve players were listed on the injury report through Tuesday's practice; that doesn't include players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list or injured reserve.
All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, tight end Luke Musgrave and defensive tackle Jordon Riley are on the PUP list. Wide receiver Savion Williams and edge rusher Collin Oliver are on injured reserve (designated for return).
