Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur provided updates on injuries suffered by right tackle Zach Tom, defensive back Javon Bullard and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt coming out of Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns.
On Tom, LaFleur said there wasn’t a setback or reinjury of his oblique, but one play — and absorbing a bull-rush from Myles Garrett — was enough for Tom to know he wasn’t physically ready to play.

“It’s always hard to simulate what you’re going to face in a game,” LaFleur said Monday. “I think the force of the guy he was going against, it hurt him. He didn’t feel like he could go.”
Tom was injured in Week 1 and didn’t play last week. He went through practice in the leadup to Sunday but games are different than practice.
“The game is different speed,” LaFleur said.
Bullard, who collided with Quay Walker on a tackle during the fourth quarter, is in the concussion protocol. He will need to pass through the various stages before he’s cleared to play again.

Wyatt is considered to be “day to day” after departing with a knee injury in the second half.
On tight end Tucker Kraft, LaFleur praised his competitiveness and said he is “feeling good” coming out of Sunday’s game after injuring his knee in Thursday’s practice. Kraft started and played 88 percent of the offense’s snaps.
The Packers will provide the first injury report of Week 4 on Wednesday. LaFleur’s team plays the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” from AT&T Stadium.
