The Green Bay Packers, riding a 2-0 wave as one of the NFL’s top teams, suffered a setback in their Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns when right tackle Zach Tom left the game with an injury on the first offensive snap. The loss of the key lineman raises concerns for Green Bay’s offensive line.
Tom, listed as questionable with an oblique injury before the game, tried to play but aggravated the issue immediately. The team labeled him questionable to return. Meanwhile, guard Aaron Banks, who also dealt with ankle and groin issues during practice, was cleared to start Sunday.
With Tom sidelined, second-year tackle Jordan Morgan from Arizona stepped in to protect quarterback Jordan Love against Cleveland’s formidable pass rush, led by Myles Garrett. The offensive line’s cohesion is critical for the Packers, who’ve leaned on their line to fuel wins over the Lions and Commanders.
Green Bay’s depth will be tested as they navigate this injury alongside absences of Jayden Reed and Christian Watson. Morgan’s performance could define the outcome at Huntington Bank Field, where the Packers aim to maintain their NFC dominance.
