The Green Bay Packers have announced their inactives for Week 2: tight end Ben Sims, right tackle Zach Tom, left guard Aaron Banks, defensive tackle Warren Brinson, cornerback Bo Melton and safety Zayne Anderson. Beyond Sims and Brinson, who are healthy scratches, the other four players are all injured for Green Bay.
The Packers also brought up offensive lineman Brant Banks and cornerback Micah Robinson from the practice squad for tonight’s game against the Washington Commanders.
With Tom and Banks out, the expectation is that this will be the first-look offensive line: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan and Darian Kinnard. The first man off the bench tonight will be Anthony Belton, who will serve as a swing tackle for this team. If an interior offensive lineman goes down, it’s likely that Kinnard kicks into guard (Rhyan is the team’s backup center).
Three players will make their 2025 debut for the Packers tonight: cornerback Nate Hobbs, offensive lineman Donovan Jennings and defensive end Barryn Sorrell. Hobbs and Sorrell were dealing with knee injuries last week, which is why they weren’t active for the season opener. Jennings, meanwhile, was a healthy scratch.
We’ll have to see how Green Bay plans on using Hobbs on nickel looks, as he played outside cornerback and slot defender for the team in camp.
