ARLINGTON, Texas − It doesn’t erase the Green Bay Packers injury issues on the offensive line, but their defense will be fully locked and loaded against the Dallas Cowboys.
Javon Bullard is active after dropping out of last week’s game in Cleveland with a concussion. The Packers nickel back has been an important piece to the team’s impressive speed on defense to start this season. Bullard was listed as questionable on the injury report but practiced Sept. 25 and Sept. 26, limited both days.
Packers offensive line will be undermanned
The Packers offensive line will be without two starters and its top backup at right tackle.
Left guard Aaron Banks (groin), right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) and right tackle Anthony Belton (ankle) all are inactive. Tom and Belton were ruled out Friday, while Banks was listed as doubtful.
The Packers tried to push Tom through last week’s game against the Browns, but he left after only one snap and did not practice during the week. Banks also did not practice during the week, while Belton dropped out of practice Sept. 24.
Next week’s bye is coming at the right time for the offensive line.
Healthy scratches complete Packers’ inactive list
Cornerback Kamal Hadden and defensive tackle Warren Brinson complete the Packers’ inactive list. Both are healthy scratches.
Dallas Cowboys inactives
For the Cowboys, veteran linebacker Jadeveon Clowney is officially making his debut.
Dallas ruled out standout wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, tackle Tyler Booker, linebacker Damone Clark, offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius and defensive tackle Jay Toia.
