Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Placed on injured reserve
The Packers placed Bako-Bewele (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Bako-Bewele sustained a complete tear of his right patellar tendon in the Packers' Week 2 overtime win over the Jets. The right tackle is out for the season and has thus been placed on injured reserve. Laken Tomlinson is the new reserve offensive lineman for the team, and Anthony Belton is expected to be the starting right tackle for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Needs season-ending surgery
Bako-Bewele said he sustained a complete tear of his right patellar tendon in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets and will undergo season-ending surgery Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Widely viewed as the Packers' top offensive lineman, Bako-Bewele will face a roughly nine-month recovery from surgery, which he previously required for the same knee after suffering a partial patellar tendon tear last December. Anthony Belton is expected to take over as the Packers' new starting right tackle in place of Bako-Bewele, who will eye a return to the field in Week 1 of the 2027 season.
