Stay tuned for the teams total injury report later on Friday afternoon.
Clarks lack will be a major loss for a team that has had difficulty stopping the run even with him on the field. In week one, the Packers enabled Minnesota running backs Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison to total 100 rushing lawns on 18 brings, a 5.6-yard per-carry average. The Packers will now deal with a Lions team whose three-headed running back group brought the ball 24 times for 115 backyards against the Bears in week one.
The Green Bay Packers will not have the services of their finest defensive lineman on Sunday when they welcome the Detroit Lions into Lambeau Field. Head coach Matt LaFleur verified that nose tackle Kenny Clark will not play in week 2 after he suffered a groin injury last weekend in Minnesota.
This will be the first video game that Clark has actually missed out on due to injury since the 2018 season, when he remained the final 3 games of the year with an elbow injury.
The group will turn to a fairly young group of linemen today that will likely have Tyler Lancaster beginning in Clarks place at nose take on. Losing a player who took the field for 84 percent of the teams protective snaps last year will be a difficulty, and LaFleur acknowledged that the teams depth will be tested on Sunday: “I do not think we played fantastic last week there, and I understand these guys are starving to go out there.”
