Packers-Seahawks Injury Report: Clark Returns to Practice

Kenny Clark was limited participation while Tyler Lancaster is the latest to be struck with illness.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Kenny Clark was back at practice on Thursday, potentially putting the standout defensive tackle on track to be in the lineup for the Green Bay Packers’ NFC Divisional playoff game at Seattle on Sunday.

"He was really limited, but we’re hopeful he’ll be all right," coach Matt LaFleur said after practice.

Clark finished fourth on the team with 62 tackles, third with six sacks and third with nine tackles for losses. In December, he had 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for losses – including at least one in each of the five games. He could be a big factor on Sunday against Seattle's beat-up interior offensive line.

The status of Clark (back) and fellow defensive tackle Tyler Lancaster will be worth watching this week. Lancaster is the latest Packers player who has been struck with illness. He was not on the practice field on Thursday.

Clark was one of four players to not practice on Wednesday. Tight end Jimmy Graham (wrist/veteran rest) and cornerback Tramon Williams (veteran rest) were back on the practice field. Running back Dexter Williams (illness) remained absent. Lancaster, fullback Danny Vitale (knee) and tight end Marcedes Lewis (veteran rest) did not practice, either.

For Seattle, starting left tackle Duane Brown (knee), starting left guard Mike Iupati (neck) and top backup George Fant (groin) did not participate for the second consecutive day. Coach Pete Carroll was encouraged by Brown's progress following knee surgery a couple weeks ago. Defensive end Ziggy Ansah (neck) went from limited on Wednesday to not participating on Thursday.
