Can the Green Bay Packers catch a break along the offensive line? On the same day that starting right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele revealed he has a season-ending patellar tendon tear, the Packers added new starting right tackle Anthony Belton to the injury report with a new elbow injury. He was estimated as a limited participant during the Packers’ walkthrough practice on Tuesday.
Also, starting left guard Aaron Banks did not practice for the second straight day with the toe injury he suffered on Sunday in New York.

With Bako-Bewele out, Banks unlikely to play and Belton now a question mark, it’s unclear how the Packers will construct the offensive line for Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons.
There was some good news: defensive lineman Anthony Campbell (ankle) and guard Donovan Jennings (hand) were upgraded to limited participants. Jennings could be a starting option at left guard if healthy enough to play, although rookie Jager Burton finished Sunday’s win in New York at left guard after Banks and Jennings went out. With Warren Brinson likely to miss a third straight game with a calf injury and Javon Hargrave still in concussion protocol, the Packers may need Campbell to fight through an injury and play on Thursday night.
Also, cornerback Brandon Cisse had his wisdom teeth removed this week but is expected to play against the Falcons.
The Packers will release a final injury report for Week 3 on Wednesday afternoon.
