The Green Bay Packers have an important player headed to the COVID-19 reserve list.
Coach Matt LaFleur revealed Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark will be the team’s one player added to the reserve list on Thursday.
Clark has played in all 13 games to start the season. He’s produced four sacks, seven tackles for losses and 13 quarterback hits, and he ranks third among all NFL defensive linemen with 54 total pressures.
LaFleur said rookie T.J. Slaton will play a “big role” in helping replace Clark on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
“Other guys are going to have to step up,” LaFleur said. “That’s just the world we live in right now. A lot of teams are facing these issues.”
The Packers also have Tyler Lancaster and Jack Heflin available to help inside alongside starters Kingsley Keke and Dean Lowry.
