Vikings start 2-0 as Packers face mounting injuries

Overview

The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings are navigating contrasting trajectories early in the 2026 season. The Vikings have opened with a 2-0 record, fueling discussions about their status as potential Super Bowl contenders. A major factor in Minnesota’s success is edge defender Dallas Turner, who leads the league with 20 pressures through two weeks. His performance, which includes 11 quarterback hits, ties the record for the most hits in a two-game span over the last decade.

Conversely, the Packers are struggling with significant injury concerns. While defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has progressed in concussion protocol—offering a potential return for the upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Falcons—the offensive line remains depleted. Right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele is currently dealing with a serious knee injury. Furthermore, pass rusher Micah Parsons remains on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and has not yet opened his 21-day practice window to return to the roster.
