David Bakhtiari is out for the season, so he's not on the Green Bay Packers plans for 2023. Besides him, the team will have its ideal offensive line formation against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. On Saturday, head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed guards Elgton Jenkins and Jon Runyan will have no designation, and therefore will be good to go in Las Vegas.

Jenkins had an MCL sprain against the Atlanta Falcons in week 2 and missed two games, versus the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions. Royce Newman, who replaced him for these two matchups, goes back to the bench. Jenkins' return is massive, especially when considering the recent news with David Bakhtiari. Jon Runyan had an ankle sprain against Detroit, but won't miss any games. 

With both guards available to play, the Packers will have an offensive line with Rasheed Walker – Elgton Jenkins – Josh Myers – Jon Runyan – Zach Tom. This is expected to be the starting lineup moving forward.

Injury report

The Packers will have four players with a questionable status for Monday, and at least three of them are starters: cornerback Jaire Alexander, running back Aaron Jones, and safety Rudy Ford. The other one is cornerback Eric Stokes, who was activated from the PUP list this week but is not yet on the 53-man roster.

LaFleur seemed confident that Jaire Alexander will be ready to play on Monday.

"He did everything we asked him to do," LaFleur said. "We will see how he's feeling on Monday night."

Running back Aaron Jones, who missed two games because of a hamstring injury suffered against the Chicago Bears in week 1, came back in a limited capacity last Thursday. On Saturday, he stayed inside Hutson Center to stretch more than the rest of the team, but LaFleur affirmed Jones went through the expected workload.

The offense is expected to be complete, as wide receiver Christian Watson has been limited on practice because of his hamstring but will have no designation. Tight end Luke Musgrave has already cleared the concussion protocol.

Absences

Two players were declared out. The main one is off-ball linebacker De'Vondre Campbell, who's handling a high-ankle sprain. Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson are the primary options to play alongside Quay Walker in the middle of the defense.

The other player out is safety and special teamer Zayne Anderson. Because of a hamstring injury, he is yet to make his debut for the Packers after being claimed on waivers.

The Packers started their season 2-2, and now face the Raiders on Monday before their bye week.
