The Packers defensive lineman hasn’t played since Week 1 but appears to be heading in the right direction. Kenny Clark  is practicing for the Packers  today ahead of their Week 3 matchup with the Saints .


This could be big for the Packers' 😨 Kenny Clark (groin) is practicing for the first time since Week 1. https://t.co/kISfVgPtCL  pic.twitter.com/KYkKRTNlAl — Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) September 24, 2020 



Clark  did not participate in practice on Wednesday and has been a no-go for the Packers  since leaving their Week 1 game against the Vikings  with a groin injury. His absence against the Lions  in Week 2 was the first time he’d missed a game since 2018.
The Packers could certainly use his help, too. Though the Saints still largely center their offense around Drew Brees  and the passing game, Alvin Kamara  and Latavius Murray  have carried the ball a combined 43 times through two weeks, though neither is averaging better than four yards per carry on the season.
In Clark’s absence, the Packers have largely turned to Za’Darius Smith in a stand up “rover” role in the middle of the defensive line, to varying degrees of success. No matter how good Smith can be in that role, though, he’s certainly a step down from Clark, whose return could bolster a defense in need of all the help it can get.

If I have to chose between having Adams and Clark, I choose Clark. He's harder to replace.
