The Green Bay Packers will likely be without a starting offensive lineman during Sunday’s season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
Billy Turner, who started all 16 games for Matt LaFleur’s team last season, was listed as doubtful on Friday’s final injury report. Turner is dealing with a knee injury suffered during a scrimmage on Aug. 30.
If Turner can’t go, the Packers would likely start veteran addition Rick Wagner at right tackle, although Elgton Jenkins or Lane Taylor could theoretically play the position in a pinch.
Last season, the Packers listed 11 players as doubtful, and nine ended up missing the game. Kevin King (Week 5 at Dallas) and Geronimo Allison (Week 7 vs. Oakland) ended up overcoming the doubtful designation and playing the game.
Turner started every game for the Packers last season and led all offensive players in snaps played.
The Packers also listed defensive lineman Montravius Adams as doubtful with a toe injury. Outside linebacker Randy Ramsey is out, while safety Raven Greene is questionable. Linebacker Oren Burks did not receive an injury designation and will play Sunday.
