Expect to see Zach Bako-Bewele starting at right tackle when the Green Bay Packers open the 2026 regular season on Sunday against the Vikings.

Sports Illustrated's Jason Harmon is confident that these five Vikings will be key to beating the Packers in Week 1.

The NFL season starts Wednesday night, and the Packers get going Sunday. Are they favored to win their Week 1 battle in Minnesota?

Here are five questions the Packers can start answering on Sunday in Minneapolis:

The two most veteran starters on Green Bay’s offensive line are left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele. Banks dealt with a knee injury during training camp and Bako-Bewele worked his way back from one after offseason surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon suffered last December.

Here are three keys for the Vikings in Week 1. The Packers will be without Josh Jacobs for the foreseeable future. Replacing him are Marshawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and Kaleb Johnson. The three backs have a combined 465 career snaps, which is fewer than Jacobs had all of last year (532).

Will the Packers have RT Zach Bako-Bewele and LG Aaron Banks in Week 1? Matt LaFleur wasn't sure (or unwilling to tell) on Monday.

The Green Bay Packers have identified Aaron Banks as Jordan Love’s starting left guard for Week 1, provided his injured knee allows him to play. Banks will be limited in Wednesday’s practice after a knee issue cost him substantial work during training camp and the preseason.
