Kenny Clark listed as DNP on Packers’ first injury report of week

The first injury report of the NFC Divisional Round featured good and bad news for the Green Bay Packers.

First, the good: right tackle Bryan Bulaga, center Corey Linsley and right guard Billy Turner all practiced on Wednesday, and Bulaga and Linsley were both full participants. The offense should have all five starters along the offensive line available on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

Now, the bad: star defensive lineman Kenny Clark missed practice with a back injury.

It’s unclear at this point if Clark will be stressed to play on Sunday. He dealt with a back injury earlier in the season and it likely affected his production.

The Packers will need Clark, their best interior defender, at full strength as they attempt to make a Super Bowl run over the next two weeks.

The Packers were also without third-string running back Dexter Williams, who is dealing with an illness, but fullback Danny Vitale, receiver Allen Lazard and outside linebacker Preston Smith all practiced in a limited capacity.

The Packers will release official injury designations on Friday.
