Zach Bako-Bewele Sidelined for Season with Torn Patellar Tendon

Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele confirmed he will miss the remainder of the 2026 season with a full tear of his patellar tendon in his right knee, the same knee he partially tore last year. Sustained during Sunday's win over the Jets, the injury requires surgery and a grueling 8- to 12-month recovery. Second-year pro Anthony Belton is expected to step into the starting right tackle role as the struggling Packers attempt to navigate a massive loss on their offensive line.
