Packers' Zach Tom: Departs with injury
Rotowire
Tom exited Sunday's game against New Orleans with a knee injury.
Tom departed from Sunday's game in the second half, and his return is uncertain. The injury could further deplete a Green Bay offensive line that was already missing David Bakhtiari (knee) and Elgton Jenkins (knee) on Sunday. In Tom's absence, Yosh Nijman and/or Caleb Jones may see more playing time. Tom will have a short turnaround to try to get healthy, as the Packers next play on Thursday Night Football against Detroit.
