Bako-Bewele (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Bako-Bewele was questionable with the same knee injury ahead of last Sunday's game against the Vikings. The offensive lineman ended up suiting up for the loss and will likely do the same in Week 2 as the Packers take on the Jets.

Brailsford (thumb) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

The rookie fifth-rounder was not available against the Jaguars in Week 1 due to a thumb injury that he's been recovering from since early August. He's been cleared to play Sunday after logging a full practice Friday, and Brailsford will provide the Browns with depth on the offensive line behind starting center Elgton Jenkins.

Fautanu (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Fautanu missed practice Wednesday with an ankle issue, but he returned in a limited capacity Thursday and was able to practice in full Friday. He seems to be moving in the right direction, but if he can't play in Week 2, rookie first-rounder Max Iheanachor could get his first regular-season start at one of the Steelers' tackle spots opposite Dylan Cook.

Hopper (Achilles) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Hopper was unable to play in the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Vikings as he finished recovering from the Achilles injury he suffered during the offseason. The linebacker is officially all set to suit up as a key piece of the team's defensive depth as Green Bay heads to New York to take on Gang Green.

Simpson (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Simpson missed the first two practices of the week while working through a groin injury, but he earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a limited practice Friday. Andrew Vorhees and Emery Jones would be the top candidates to start at left guard if Simpson is not cleared to play.

Brinson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Brinson has been unable to practice since sustaining a calf injury during the preseason. The depth option at defensive end appears set to remain sidelined due to the issue for the foreseeable future.

Trapilo (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Minnesota.

Trapilo sat out the first game of the regular season as he continued to recover from the patellar injury he suffered near the end of last year, but he's now poised to suit up for the first time this season in Week 2. Braxton Jones got the start at left tackle in Week 1, and there doesn't seem to be much indication Trapilo will be more than a depth option Sunday.

Hawes accrued zero targets during Thursday's 41-31 victory over Detroit.

Hawes started Thursday and played in 37 of the team's 74 offensive snaps, adding seven on special teams. However, the 25-year-old went without a catch (or target) for a second consecutive game. Hawes finished the 2025 campaign with 16 catches for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Although there's a chance he will find the end zone this season, he'll likely have an uphill battle doing much more than blocking while Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are healthy ahead of him.

Lindstrom (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Lindstrom has not yet cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but there's still a chance he's given the green light by an independent neurologist before Sunday's game. If Lindstrom cannot play, Kyle Hinton will likely draw the start at right guard.

O'Neill (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

O'Neill returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday after sitting out Thursday's session, giving him at least a chance to suit up in Week 2. If he can't go Sunday, Ryan Van Demark would be a candidate to get the start at right tackle.
