The Green Bay Packers are dealing with an injury to starting right guard Travis Glover, who is reportedly not participating due to a knee issue. As the Packers prepare for their Thursday night game against the Carolina Panthers, coach Matt LaFleur indicated that veteran Kevin Zeitler could be called to start if Glover cannot play. Zeitler signed with the team nearly a month ago but has yet to play offensively. The Packers will release a final injury report ahead of the game, which will clarify Glover's status. Other options are available if Glover is sidelined, including Mekhi Becton and Aaron Banks.
