When Matt LaFleur called the Green Bay Packers’ injury list “pretty substantial” on Tuesday, it was a substantial understatement.
The Green Bay Packers were decimated by injuries in their loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 15. No loss was more significant than star Micah Parsons, who suffered a torn ACL. However, Green Bay also lost right tackle Zach Tom to a knee injury. Tom did receive positive news as there is no structural damage to his knee.
Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said the team believes right tackle Zach Tom and safety Evan Williams avoided significant, long-term injuries after leaving Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos with knee injuries. "Long term, I think we're going to be alright, but whether that's a week or two or three, I couldn't tell you," LaFleur said.

Packers RT Zach Tom leaves Broncos game with knee injury
On the Green Bay Packers’ second-quarter touchdown pass to running back Josh Jacobs, right tackle Zach Tom, who has been dealing with a back issue this year, went down with a knee injury that required attention on the sideline. As of now, the Packers have declared Tom questionable to return with the knee designation.
As the Green Bay Packers took on the Denver Broncos in a chippy game on Sunday, there was an injury to a crucial position group that will no doubt affect star quarterback Jordan Love. While the rumors around the Packers will continue throughout the season about this injury, it surrounds offensive tackle Zach Tom.
The Packers offensive line lost its best player and then effectively crumbled in a big-time matchup with the Broncos on Sunday.
He's got great speed. The thing about him is he can stick his foot in the ground and come right at you, and then he can also turn the corner and get the field, go to the wide field. So he's been a good player for a while,
