The Green Bay Packers listed guard Aaron Banks, cornerback Nate Hobbs, kicker Brandon McManus, offensive lineman Jacob Monk, offensive lineman Zach Tom and offensive tackle Rasheed Walker as questionable and ruled out offensive tackle Anthony Belton, receiver Christian Watson and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt on the final injury report before facing the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 of the 2025 season.
How will the injury situation affect Sunday’s showdown?
Here’s an in-depth breakdown of the Packers’ final injury report ahead of Week 6:
Questionable (6)
OL Aaron Banks (groin/knee): He practiced in a limited capacity all week, but Banks added a knee injury on Friday, potentially complicating his return to the lineup. The Packers starting left guard has been dealing with some kind of injury for the better part of two months.
CB Nate Hobbs (concussion): The veteran corner suffered the head injury in Dallas and still hasn’t passed concussion protocol. The Packers have Carrington Valentine if Hobbs isn’t able to get through the protocol and play Sunday.
K Brandon McManus (right quad): McManus insists he’ll be ready to play Sunday. The key moment may arrive Saturday, when the Packers must decide if they’ll add a kicker to the practice squad as a backup option. Rookie Mark McNamee is the interionational player on the Packers practice squad, but the team worked out veterans Greg Joseph and Lucas Havrisik on Thursday.
OL Zach Tom (oblique/back): Like Banks, Tom practiced in a limited capacity all week but then added a back injury on Friday’s injury report. Darian Kinnard would be the most likely right tackle if Tom can’t go or exits the game on Sunday.
OT Rasheed Walker (quad): Walker missed Thursday’s practice but returned on Friday, giving him a chance to play Sunday. Jordan Morgan is the likely backup, but the Packers have a lot of moving parts to juggle along the offensive line entering Sunday. The matchup for the Packers left tackle will be Trey Hendrickson.
OL Jacob Monk (hamstring): He was designated to return from IR and could play Sunday if the Packers need reinforcements along the offensive line. Monk, who injured his hamstring in training camp, participated in a limited capacity during all three practices this week.
Out (3)
DL Devonte Wyatt (knee): The Packers starting defensive tackle and most valuable interior defender injured his knee in Dallas and didn’t practice all week. Expect more snaps for Karl Brooks and Colby Wooden, and it’s possible rookie Warren Brinson could be active for the first time on Sunday.
OT Anthony Belton (ankle): The rookie didn’t practice all week. Coach Matt LaFleur said early in the week that Belton isn’t close to returning. He injured his ankle in practice during the Wednesday of Week 4 and will miss his second straight game.
WR Christian Watson (knee): LaFleur said Watson looked “pretty damn good” during his first week back, but the Packers are easing him back into action roughly nine months removed from tearing his ACL. A return next week against the Cardinals is possible.
No status designations (5)
The following players have no status designation, have been removed from the injury report and are good to go for Sunday: QB Jordan Love, DE Kingsley Enagbare, TE Tucker Kraft, OL Jordan Morgan, WR Savion Williams.
Love, Kraft and Morgan were full participants at practice throughout the week.
Bengals injury report
The Bengals listed receiver Ja’Marr Chase (illness), guard Dylan Fairchild (knee), center Matt Lee (knee) and guard Lucas Patrick (calf, IR-designated to return) as questionable and edge rusher Shemar Stewart (ankle) as doubtful to play on Friday’s final injury report.
