Packers Face Mounting Injury Woes Before Cowboys Showdown

Green Bay, September 26, 2025
The Green Bay Packers’ injury troubles deepened ahead of their Week 4 Sunday Night Football clash with the Dallas Cowboys, with their offensive line taking the hardest hit. The latest injury report paints a grim picture for the 2-1 team as they prepare for a pivotal NFC matchup.
Second-round rookie right tackle Anthony Belton was downgraded to a non-participant in Thursday’s practice due to an ankle injury, after being limited on Wednesday. His status is critical, as starting right tackle Zach Tom is unlikely to play, still hampered by an oblique injury from Week 2.
The offensive line’s woes don’t end there. Left guard Aaron Banks missed both Wednesday and Thursday practices with a groin injury sustained in the Packers’ 13-10 loss to the Browns, while left tackle Rasheed Walker was limited with a quadriceps issue, raising concerns about Green Bay’s protection against Dallas’ pass rush.
If Tom and Belton are sidelined, the Packers may turn to Darian Kinnard, acquired from the Eagles in August for a 2027 seventh-round pick. Kinnard, with 36 snaps this season, allowed one pressure in 14 pass-blocking snaps. Alternatively, second-year tackle Jordan Morgan could slide to right tackle or fill in at left guard if Banks is out.
Defensive injuries add to the challenge, with Micah Parsons (back) and Devonte Wyatt (knee) limited, alongside Karl Brooks (foot), Javon Bullard (concussion, upgraded), John FitzPatrick (groin), Josh Jacobs (ankle), and Tucker Kraft (knee/elbow). Parsons, however, is expected to face his former Cowboys team.
With one final practice on Friday before injury designations, the Packers (2-1) face a tough test against the 1-2 Cowboys at 8:20 p.m. ET. Can Green Bay overcome their depleted roster to maintain their NFC lead, or will Dallas capitalize on their vulnerabilities?
