Monk (biceps) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Monk had biceps surgery during the offseason to repair the injury he suffered in the Packers' wild-card loss to the Bears. The guard is back and competing with Zach Bako-Bewele for the starting right guard role. Bako-Bewele is in the last year of his rookie contract whereas Monk is locked up for another two years, meaning the latter represents a cost-effective option under team control for a longer period.

Rotowire
The Packers placed Monk (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday with an injury designation, Wes Hodklewicz of the team's official site reports.
Monk is working through a hamstring injury that he picked up in mid-August, which is severe enough for him to start the regular season on IR. That means he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the season, making Week 6 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 12 the earliest he can make his 2025 debut.
