Warren Brinson misses practice as Packers prepare for Minnesota Vikings

The Green Bay Packers held a practice on September 11 with only one player missing as the team prepares for its Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Defensive tackle Warren Brinson was the lone absentee, continuing to work through a calf injury sustained during the preseason in Denver. Coach Matt LaFleur indicated that Brinson is likely to miss the upcoming season opener. Meanwhile, other key players including right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele and left guard Aaron Banks participated in practice sessions throughout the week despite managing recent knee injuries. Linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper also returned to the field for the first time this week after dealing with an Achilles issue. The team expects to release a final injury report later today detailing the game status for all roster members.
