Packers Week 5 Injury Report
Green Bay, October 9, 2025
The Green Bay Packers are bracing for a tough Week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, but their biggest battle remains off the field. Emerging from a bye week meant to heal wounds, the team is dealing with a mounting injury list that could test their depth and resilience. With the Packers at 2-1-1, here's a comprehensive breakdown of the latest injury report.
Right tackle Zach Tom, sidelined since Week 2 with an oblique strain, missed Wednesday's practice and remains questionable for Sunday. Tom, a cornerstone of the offensive line, left the Browns game early in Week 3, forcing rookie Anthony Belton into action. Belton, nursing an ankle tweak, was limited on Wednesday but upgraded to full participation Thursday, offering hope for the line.
Guard Aaron Banks' groin injury, which forced him out of the Browns loss, kept him out of Wednesday's session but saw him limited Thursday. Left tackle Rasheed Walker (quadriceps) was full on Wednesday, providing some stability. The line's fragility was evident in the Cowboys tie, where penalties and pressures plagued protection for Jordan Love.
Defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt's knee issue, suffered in Week 4, continues to sideline him—non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. Wyatt's absence (6 tackles, 2 sacks, 13 pressures through four games) weakens the interior, with Karl Brooks and Colby Wooden stepping up. Rookie Warren Brinson (knee) was limited Wednesday but full Thursday.
Wide receiver Jayden Reed remains on IR with a fractured collarbone from Week 2, while Christian Watson's practice window opened last week, but he's limited with knee soreness. Tight end Tucker Kraft (knee/elbow) was full Wednesday but limited Thursday.
Running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) and defensive end Micah Parsons (back) were both limited Wednesday and Thursday, with Parsons expected to play despite management. Safety Javon Bullard (concussion) upgraded to full, and tight end John FitzPatrick (groin) was limited.
The Packers practiced Friday before final designations. With a 2-1-1 record and Super Bowl hopes, these injuries could dictate their fate against the Bengals. Can Green Bay's depth hold, or will the bye week’s rest fall short?
