Ninety minutes before \u2018Sunday Night Football,\u2019 the Packers released the inactive list, and left guard Aaron Banks is officially out\u2014on Friday, he had been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/green-bay-packers-news\/injury-report-week-4-cowboys-snf\/\">designated as doubtful<\/a>, which was already a strong indication of this outcome.

Acquired right before the regular season, Kinnard has played several snaps for the team early this season, but that would be his first start for the Packers.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest issue now is depth, as the Packers don\u2019t have much room to lose more pieces. The other active offensive linemen for the game are guard Donovan Jennings, tackle Brant Banks, and center\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/green-bay-packers-news\/elevations-packers-week-4-cowboys\/\">Lecitus Smith, elevated from the practice squad for gameday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"better-outcome\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-m-font-size\">Better outcome<\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">The only other player with an inconclusive injury designation for the game was safety Javon Bullard, who is recovering from a concussion. He is officially active after clearing the concussion protocol and will play.<\/p>\n<p>After missing Wednesday\u2019s practice as part of the protocol, Bullard was able to participate in practice on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday. With him in the mix, the Packers gain more versatility in the defensive backfield, as he can play both at deep safety, in the box, and in the slot.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"packers-inactive-list\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-m-font-size\">Packers inactive list<\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">CB Kamal Hadden<br \/>\nT Zach Tom<br \/>\nG Aaron Banks<br \/>\nT Anthony Belton<br \/>\nDT Warren Brinson<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"other-side\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-m-font-size\">Other side<\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">For the Cowboys, edge defender Jadeveon Clowney will make his debut.
