Clark (toe) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Rams, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Clark was unable to practice at the beginning of the week, but back-to-back limited sessions were enough to get him the green light. Barring any setbacks, he is slated to take on his usual role in the trenches for the Packers' interior defensive line.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Clark (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Clark was able to play through his toe issue in the Packers' Week 2 win over the Colts, so his limited participation Wednesday is most likely precautionary. The 28-year-old has recorded five total tackles across Green Bay's two games this season, and he'll likely suit up in Week 3 unless his participation downgrades Thursday or Friday.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Pops up on injury report
Rotowire
Clark (toe) was limited during practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Clark played 73 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps in their loss to the Eagles last Friday but seemingly picked up a toe injury in the process. The team is likely taking it easy on the veteran, but his practice status Thursday and Friday could be worth monitoring to gauge his chances to play in Sunday's game against the Colts.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Sets career high for sacks
Rotowire
Clark tallied 44 tackles (22 solo), a career-high 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and three pass deflections over 17 games in the 2023 regular season.
Clark had not recorded more than 6.0 sacks in a season, but he surpassed that mark in his eighth go-around as a professional. He appeared in every game the last two seasons and will turn just 28 years old in October, so he figures to remain a force up front for the Packers.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Questionable for Sunday at Steelers
Rotowire
Clark (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game at the Steelers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Clark was limited at practice during the week, and now he's in jeopardy of missing his first game this season with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 9 versus the Rams. If he's sidelined, 2021 fifth-rounder Tedarrell Slaton will likely start at defensive tackle in Week 10.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Has back injury
Rotowire
Clark is not practicing Monday due to a back injury, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Clark didn't suit up for Green Bay's preseason opener against the Bengals, and his status appears uncertain for Saturday's exhibition match against the Patriots as well. The veteran defensive tackle is a key component of the Packers' starting defense, so the team will undoubtedly prioritize getting him healthy for Week 1. Tedarrell Slaton and Jonathan Ford should handle more practice reps in the meantime.

Packers' Kenny Clark: No injury designation for Sunday
Rotowire
Clark doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com reports.
Clark popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a groin injury and was limited again Friday. Nonetheless, the defensive tackle will still be good to go for Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay. Through two games, Clark has recorded five tackles across 78 defensive snaps.
Clark (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Packers' practice report Thursday.
Although Clark was able to play 88 percent of the team's defensive snaps during Sunday's game against the Bears, he was limited during Thursday's practice with an apparent groin injury. The severity of the issue is unclear, but expect Friday's practice report to provide more clarity regarding the 314-pounder's Week 3 availability against the Buccaneers. If Clark is ruled inactive, Devonte Wyatt and Tedarrell Slaton are candidates to take on expanded roles Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Added to COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Clark was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It's not yet known whether Clark has tested positive for the virus or whether he's considered a close contact.

Tyler Lancaster and Tedarrell Slaton are the candidates to fill in for an absent Clark this weekend.

Packers' Kenny Clark: May be game-time call
Rotowire
Clark (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in New Orleans.
Clark picked up a groin injury during the Packers' season-opening win at Minnesota. He sat out Week 2 against the Lions and every practice until Thursday, then wrapped up the week with back-to-back limited showings. Coach Matt LaFleur said Clark has "made progress" but is "definitely not 100 percent yet." Clark is shaping up to be a game-time decision, meaning his status may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Upgraded to limited
Rotowire
Clark (groin) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
The 2019 Pro Bowler was forced to exit Green Bay's season-opening win against the Vikings after fielding 15 defensive snaps, and up until Thursday, he'd been unable to suit up for a single practice since. Now trending in the right direction, the Packers will hope to soon get the versatile lineman back into the rotation. Heading into a Week 3 matchup against New Orleans' Alvin Kamara, who is coming off a 174-scrimmage yard and two-touchdown performance, Clark's presence would certainly be a boost to the Packers' front.

Packers' Kenny Clark: Unable to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Clark (groin) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Clark is trending in the wrong direction to start the week, but if he can practice in some capacity Thursday, that will be a better indication of his status for Sunday's matchup versus the Saints. Considering Saints RB Alvin Kamara looks as healthy as ever, having Clark available to stuff the run would be a major boost for the Packers.
