“ We’ll see,” LaFleur said when asked if either player will be able to suit up for Week 1, according to reports. Bako-Bewele underwent knee surgery in the offseason, and lingering issues have limited his time with the team in the lead-up to the opener. Banks is dealing with knee tendonitis, casting doubt on his availability for the game against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.
The team’s early-season outlook for its offensive line is thus uncertain, with two key linemen’s statuses unresolved as kickoff approaches. The Packers will likely line up with what they have available, while awaiting clearer updates on Bako-Bewele’s knee recovery and Banks’s tendonitis. Fans and analysts will be watching closely as Week 1 approaches to see how the unit performs on Sunday.
