The surge of COVID-19 cases finally bit the Green Bay Packers this week, and it did so in a very big way.

 

The Packers placed DL ?Kenny Clark? on the reserve/COVID-19 list after activating QB Jordan Love. Clark has been a crucial part of the defense's efforts this season with four sacks, 42 combine tackles, and several quarterback pressures. 

 

The news comes as over 100 NFL players are on reserve/COVID-19 list and some players are calling for games to be postponed until cases get under control. The NFL said this yesterday about their protocols:

 

"Effective immediately, all clubs will implement preventative measures that have proven effective: masking regardless of vaccination status, remote or outdoor meetings, eliminating in-person meals, and no outside visitors while on team travel," the league said in a statement. "We will continue to strongly encourage the booster shots as the most effective protection. Finally, and based on expert advice, we will adjust the return-to-participation requirements for those who have recovered from COVID-19.

 

"All of these changes are grounded in our data and science-backed approach, with safety our number-one goal for the entire NFL community."
