Packers and Vikings finalize injury reports before Sunday season opener
Summary

The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings prepare to release official inactive lists 90 minutes before Sunday's kickoff. Green Bay faces roster challenges as running back Josh Jacobs remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List and defensive tackle Warren Brinson is ruled out with a calf injury. Edge rusher Micah Parsons and tight end Luke Musgrave are unavailable due to their placement on the PUP list. The Packers are also monitoring the status of linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper and offensive linemen Zach Bako-Bewele and Aaron Banks, who are all listed as questionable. Conversely, the Minnesota Vikings enter the matchup with a largely healthy roster. Veteran safety Harrison Smith is expected to play following his return for a 15th season. Official game-day lineups will confirm the final participation status for all questionable players once team reports are filed before the game begins.
