As expected, the Green Bay Packers have ruled out two tackles, Zach Tom (oblique) and Anthony Belton (ankle), against the Dallas Cowboys. It was reported earlier in the week that Tom was going to be sidelined through the bye week, while head coach Matt LaFleur stated today that Belton was injured during Wednesday’s practice and would not play on Sunday Night Football.
Beyond those two players, the Packers listed left guard Aaron Banks (groin) as doubtful, while safety Javon Bullard (concussion) was listed as questionable.
As of now, expect that Green Bay’s offensive line (left to right) will be Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan and Darian Kinnard against Dallas. The backup offensive linemen should be Donovan Jennings, Brant Banks and a practice squad call-up. Collectively, those three players have not received a single offensive snap during the regular season.
If Bullard can’t go, assume that cornerback Nate Hobbs will play the slot for the Packers. This will push Carrington Valentine into an every-down outside cornerback role.
The only injuries that the Cowboys are dealing with this week are to receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and guard Tyler Booker (ankle), who are both ruled out in Week 4 for high ankle sprains. Cornerback DaRon Bland (foot), who has missed two games this season, will return to action this week for Dallas. The Cowboys desperately needed that, as Trevon Diggs and Kaiir Elam have struggled without Bland in the secondary.
