Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Packers placed Bako-Bewele (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Bako-Bewele sustained a complete tear of his right patellar tendon in the Packers' Week 2 overtime win over the Jets. The right tackle is out for the season and has thus been placed on injured reserve. Laken Tomlinson is the new reserve offensive lineman for the team, and Anthony Belton is expected to be the starting right tackle for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Packers' Zach Tom: Questionable for Week 18
Rotowire
Tom (back/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Tom was limited in practice all week due to knee and back injuries and has a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence. Given that the Packers are locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC, the team could opt to sit Tom and give the fourth-year pro another week of rest before the wild-card round of the playoffs. If that were to be the case, then Jordan Morgan would likely draw the start at right tackle.
