Packers’ Zach Tom Exits Broncos Game Due to Knee Injury
During a recent game, Green Bay Packers’ right tackle Zach Tom suffered a knee injury in the second quarter. This incident occurred just after a touchdown pass to running back Josh Jacobs. Tom, who has been managing a back issue this season, had to receive attention on the sidelines.
Zach Tom’s Injury Status
The Packers have listed Tom as questionable to return to the game. His situation presents a challenge for the team as they consider potential replacements.
Potential Replacements
Normally, the role of right tackle would go to Anthony Belton. However, Belton is currently filling the starting position at right guard due to recent adjustments in the offensive line. Without moving Belton, the Packers may turn to either Darian Kinnard or Jordan Morgan to take Tom’s place.
- Darian Kinnard: Kinnard typically joins the team as a tight end during specific offensive line setups. His participation at tackle could limit these formations.
- Jordan Morgan: Morgan has experience rotating at right guard until recent injuries forced adjustments in the lineup. After being replaced by Belton, it’s uncertain if he will return to this role.
The Packers made these strategic changes to enhance their running game’s effectiveness. As the game continues, Kinnard has stepped in for the two-minute drill while Tom remains sidelined. Updates on Tom’s condition will be provided as the situation develops.
