GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed tackle Zach Bako-Bewele (knee), guard Aaron Banks (knee) and linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper (Achilles) as questionable for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
Defensive tackle Warren Brinson (calf) has been ruled out after not practicing this week.
Bako-Bewele was limited in practice but said this week he expected to play against the Vikings.
Banks has been dealing with tendinitis in his knee. The starting left guard was a limited participant in all three practices this week and told reporters Thursday he expects to be a "game-time decision."
Head Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Friday morning it's a "good sign" that Banks was able to practice on Friday.
"Throughout this whole process, I've been doing everything I can to get as many reps as I can and get as healthy as I can," said Banks on Thursday.
"Taking it stride for stride and just for myself, trying to get better and get reps and get healthy, and then for the group, doing everything I can to make sure this group is as good as we can be."
Hopper didn't practice on either Wednesday or Thursday before returning in a limited capacity Friday. The former third-round pick has not missed a game in his first two NFL seasons.
Green Bay didn't issue a game status for four players who will be available vs. Minnesota: tackle Jordan Morgan (knee), defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (knee), edge Barryn Sorrell (foot) and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (ankle).
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters after practice Friday that safety Harrison Smith will play Sunday. The six-time Pro Bowler re-signed with the Vikings this past week.
In addition to Smith (veteran rest), Minnesota didn't issue a game status for tackle Christian Darrisaw (veteran rest), safeties Jakobe Thomas (illness) and Jacob Thomas (ankle), and tackle Caleb Tierman (ankle).
