Tom attempted to play through an oblique injury but managed only one play before exiting.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter, Tom is unlikely to play in the Packers&#8217; huge showdown with the Dallas Cowboys on\u00a0Sunday Night Football.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Packers right tackle Zach Tom expected to miss Sunday Night Football in Week 4<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Tom\u00a0left after one play\u00a0against Cleveland, and chaos ensued.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">The Packers&#8217; first move was to call Jordan Morgan off the bench, who had played zero right tackle snaps during the summer. And it showed. The second-year player looked lost at an unfamiliar position, and the results didn&#8217;t improve when he shifted back to left guard later in the game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Per PFF, Morgan allowed three pressures and a sack, receiving an embarrassing 22.5 pass-blocking grade.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">With Tom out and left guard Aaron Banks also uncertain to play, the Packers will have a tough decision.<\/p>\n<p>Can they trust Morgan to start\u00a0after a disastrous Week 3 performance? If Banks can&#8217;t go, they may have no other choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One thing is for sure:<\/strong> Morgan can&#8217;t be the top choice at right tackle. LaFleur will need to lean on rookie second-round pick Anthony Belton or veteran Darian Kinnard to take those duties.<\/p>\n<p>The positive: Dallas&#8217; pass rush is nowhere near as fierce as Cleveland&#8217;s. According to ESPN, the Browns rank first in pass rush win rate through three weeks. The Cowboys are 26th. Rashan Gary has more sacks (4.5) than the Cowboys (4) this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\"><strong>Another positive:<\/strong> Green Bay gets its bye week following this game, giving Tom until Week 6 to get healthy \u2014 that&#8217;s a full 21 days of recovery from Tom getting hurt in Week 3. It&#8217;s a 35-day gap since initially suffering the injury, and LaFleur crucially said Tom didn&#8217;t reaggravate it last week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">For now, though, the Packers must find a way to win without their $88 million tackle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Schefter drops brutal injury news Packers fans feared ahead of SNF Green Bay Packers v Chicago Bears | Kevin Sabitus\/GettyImages The Green Bay Packers will have&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":98257,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
