Packers' injury struggles continue ahead of Thursday night game

Summary

The Green Bay Packers are grappling with multiple injuries as they prepare for a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on September 24. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has shown progress in the concussion protocol and could return. However, the offensive line faces significant setbacks, including serious injuries to right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele and starting guard Aaron Banks. Bako-Bewele's condition is particularly concerning, with head coach Matt LaFleur suggesting it could be a season-ending injury. In addition, wide receiver Jayden Reed is expected to miss time due to a back injury sustained during the previous week's game.
