This is a big blow to a Packers offensive line was already amongst the league's shakiest

What happened: Zach Bako-Bewele said he sustained a complete tear of his patellar tendon Sunday. It is the same tendon he partially tore last season.

Why it matters: The absence removes Green Bay's starting right tackle from the lineup. The Packers front entered the week among the league's shakiest units.

What to watch: Green Bay must reshuffle its right side before its next game.
