Packers add Yosh Nijman as questionable to final injury report

The Green Bay Packers have added offensive tackle Yosh Nijman (illness) as a last-minute addition to the final injury report ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the New England Patriots. Nijman is now the fourth offensive tackle on this week’s list for Green Bay and is listed as questionable.

Nijman joins Caleb Jones (illness) – who was the only Packer not to practice Friday – David Bakhtiari (knee) and Elgton Jenkins (knee). Both Bakhtiari and Jenkins were limited participants during Friday’s practice.

Bakhtiari played 35 snaps in his 2022 season debut last week in the victory vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and alternated series with Nijman at left tackle.

Four injured tackles leaves Green Bay with three healthy OT’s heading into Sunday. Royce Newman, the second-string left tackle, will likely earn the start if Jenkins is not ready to go, and Rasheed Walker can expect the starting job on the right side if Bakhtiari and Nijman aren’t healthy enough to suit up.

The Packers also have 2022 third-rounder Sean Rhyan out of UCLA available, but isn’t listed on the depth chart. Green Bay doesn’t have any tackles listed on their practice squad, either.

As the offensive line continues to wear thin, the Packers have still been able to take care of business through three games this season. Other than a season-opening beatdown at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings, they’ve bounced back swiftly, taking down their rival in the Chicago Bears, which they won by three-scores, before edging out Tom Brady and the Buccaneers 14-12 during Week 3.

Green Bay will look to win their third consecutive game Sunday against the equally just as hurt Patriots, who will be without starting quarterback Mac Jones on the road at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET with FOX carrying the regional broadcast.
