Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Ready for Week 1

Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Questionable with knee issue
Bako-Bewele (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Bako-Bewele logged three limited practice sessions this week. If the starting right tackle is absent from Sunday's contest, Jordan Love could take on more pressure. If Bako-Bewele is ruled out, John Williams or Anthony Belton will likely start at right tackle in his stead.

Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Limited at practice Wednesday
Bako-Bewele (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Bako-Bewele is working his way back from offseason surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon. While he isn't a lock to suit up for the NFC North clash with the Vikings, his limited participation in Wednesday's practice keeps the door open for Week 1.

Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Legally changes name
Bako-Bewele legally changed his name this offseason, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Formerly known as Zach Tom, the Packers' starting right tackle put pen to paper on the name change to honor two of his grandparents of Nigerian descent. The team's official site reflects the change on his player page, and it also was noted on the NFL's official transaction log from Aug. 2.

Packers' Zach Tom: Seemingly healthy to start camp
Tom (knee) was not among the players who landed on the PUP list to begin Packers training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
As expected, Tom appears to be entering training camp healthy after undergoing surgery to address a partially-torn patellar tendon during the offseason. He should resume his role as Green Bay's starting right tackle in 2026 as long as he's available.

Packers' Zach Tom: Likely back for training camp
Tom (knee) is making progress but likely won't return until training camp, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Tom underwent surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon this offseason, but it appears he could return for training camp in late July. Once the Wake Forest product is back at full health, he's expected to remain one of the NFL's top right tackles.

Packers' Zach Tom: Underwent surgery on knee
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst confirmed Tuesday that Tom (knee) underwent surgery this offseason to repair a partially torn patellar tendon, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Tom popped up on the injury report with a knee injury in December and ended up missing the Packers' final four contests of the 2025 season, including their wild-card loss to the Bears. The right tackle has started all 46 games in which he's appeared over the last three regular seasons.

Packers' Zach Tom: Expected to face six-month recovery
Tom (knee) is expected to have surgery on a partially torn patellar tendon and will face a six-month recovery after the procedure, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Tom didn't suit up for Green Bay's loss to the Bears in the wild-card game. He started all 12 regular-season games for which he suited up at right tackle and is under contract through the 2029 season on a four-year, $88 million extension.

Packers' Zach Tom: Not available against Bears
Tom (back) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Tom logged two limited practices to begin the week but was downgraded to no participation Thursday. That was labeled as a rest day by head coach Matt LaFleur, though that now proves to be inaccurate. Tom's absence will leave a big void along Green Bay's offensive line, with Jordan Morgan set to step in at right tackle.

Packers' Zach Tom: Officially listed as questionable
Tom (back/knee) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup on the road against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Tom was listed as limited on Green Bay's first two practice reports this week, but he was listed as a non-participant Thursday due to what head coach Matt LaFleur labeled a "rest day." The starting left tackle hasn't played since injuring his knee Week 15 versus Denver, and he's also been managing a back injury since that game. LaFleur said Tom has "looked good in practice" and that the Packers will "give him up till gametime, and if he can go, he'll be out there."

Packers' Zach Tom: Limited in practice Wednesday
Tom (back) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Tom continued to show progression in his back injury on Wednesday, after being estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough. With back-to-back limited practices, the 26-year-old could be on track to play for the first time since Week 15 against the Broncos. The fourth-year pro's return could add a major boost to the offensive line as Green Bay prepares to play Chicago for the third time this season.

Packers' Zach Tom: Likely to play in wild-card round
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that he expects Tom (back/knee) to play in Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Tom missed the final three contests of the regular season, but he was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice and appears to be trending in the right direction as Saturday's game approaches. The right tackle will have two more chances this week to potentially upgrade to full practice participation, which would likely allow him to approach Saturday's contest without a designation.

Packers' Zach Tom: Won't play vs. Minnesota
Tom (back/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Tom drew the questionable tag for Week 18 after being limited in practice all week due to back and knee injuries. He'll end up missing a third consecutive game, though he may have been able to play Sunday if the Packers had something to play for, but Green Bay is locked in as the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, so Jordan Morgan will once again draw the start at right tackle. Given his ability to work in practice this past week, Tom is trending toward being available for the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.
