Hopper (Achilles) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Hopper was unable to play in the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Vikings as he finished recovering from the Achilles injury he suffered during the offseason. The linebacker is officially all set to suit up as a key piece of the team's defensive depth as Green Bay heads to New York to take on Gang Green.

Simpson (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Simpson missed the first two practices of the week while working through a groin injury, but he earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a limited practice Friday. Andrew Vorhees and Emery Jones would be the top candidates to start at left guard if Simpson is not cleared to play.

Brinson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Brinson has been unable to practice since sustaining a calf injury during the preseason. The depth option at defensive end appears set to remain sidelined due to the issue for the foreseeable future.

Trapilo (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Minnesota.

Trapilo sat out the first game of the regular season as he continued to recover from the patellar injury he suffered near the end of last year, but he's now poised to suit up for the first time this season in Week 2. Braxton Jones got the start at left tackle in Week 1, and there doesn't seem to be much indication Trapilo will be more than a depth option Sunday.

Hawes accrued zero targets during Thursday's 41-31 victory over Detroit.

Hawes started Thursday and played in 37 of the team's 74 offensive snaps, adding seven on special teams. However, the 25-year-old went without a catch (or target) for a second consecutive game. Hawes finished the 2025 campaign with 16 catches for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Although there's a chance he will find the end zone this season, he'll likely have an uphill battle doing much more than blocking while Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are healthy ahead of him.

Lindstrom (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Lindstrom has not yet cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but there's still a chance he's given the green light by an independent neurologist before Sunday's game. If Lindstrom cannot play, Kyle Hinton will likely draw the start at right guard.

O'Neill (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

O'Neill returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday after sitting out Thursday's session, giving him at least a chance to suit up in Week 2. If he can't go Sunday, Ryan Van Demark would be a candidate to get the start at right tackle.

Stanley (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Stanley missed the first two practices of the week due to a toe injury, but he was able to earn the questionable tag for Week 2 after practicing in a limited capacity Friday. Carson Vinson figures to be the top candidate to start at left tackle if Stanley is not cleared to play against New Orleans.

Jenkins (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Jenkins was also unable to suit up in Week 1 due to his lingering back injury, and now he'll have to wait at least one more week before making his season debut. Rookie third-rounder Austin Barber should again start at right guard in Jenkins' place in Week 2.

Ossai (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Ossai sat out the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans last Sunday as he continued to rehab the foot injury he suffered during the preseason. The defensive end has yet to fully recover from the issue and will now miss consecutive games. Rookie first-round pick David Bailey should continue to be relied upon heavily as an edge rusher in Ossai's absence.
