He had hurt it all the way back in Week 1 when the Packers played the Eagles in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>He was listed on the injury report the rest of the season with a toe injury, but the defensive tackle still played all 17 games and finished with 37 tackles.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nb63c3lwu\">&#8220;It was a tough year for me,&#8221; Clark told Demovsky. &#8220;I had surgery on my foot in January, so yeah, it was a tough year. But I&#8217;m excited. I&#8217;m back out practicing, back doing [individual drills], so today was my second day doing indy with the team, and just have to keep building forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nb63c3lwu\">Clark, 29, was the 27th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Packers.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nb63c3lwu\">He&#8217;s a three-time Pro Bowl selection.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nb63c3lwu\">Clark has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the Packers and has 35.0 career sacks.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nb63c3lwu\">At 6-foot-3, 314 pounds, a foot injury isn&#8217;t anything to sneeze at. Sounds like Clark isn&#8217;t quite back to full strength yet, but it&#8217;ll just be a bit more of a bump before a month-plus likely sets up Clark with a full-throttle training camp.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenny Clark was hurting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
