The Green Bay Packers announced on Sunday that, along with cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, who was already ruled out with an injury, the team has ruled out three offensive linemen against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6: Jager Burton, Aaron Banks and Donovan Jennings. These moves were expected, as the Packers needed to scratch three more players (beyond St-Juste), with the options most likely coming from the offensive line room — as we wrote about on Saturday.
Interestingly, Banks was listed as questionable, but both Burton and Jennings are healthy scratches. Instead of Burton or Jennings, the team will have Jacob Monk and John Williams (along with whoever between Travis Glover or Kevin Zeitler isn’t starting at right guard) on the bench against Dallas.
That’s a pretty quick drop for Jennings, who started games earlier this season, to become a healthy scratch. At times, both Glover and Williams, who are both active today, had been healthy scratches while Jennings was playing with the first-team offense. Clearly, the coaching staff has decided their early-season plan at the position wasn’t the best route to follow any longer.
The scratch announcements also mean that receiver Savion Williams (questionable), defensive lineman Anthony Campbell (questionable) and cornerback Brandon Cisse (questionable) will be up for game day. They will need these players, as the defensive line and cornerback rooms are particularly thin right now.
