Packers Placing NT Kenny Clark On IR With Elbow Injury

Tom Pelissero reports that the Packers are placing DT Kenny Clark on season-ending injured reserve with an elbow injury.

The good news is that Clark will not require surgery for his elbow injury, according to Pelissero.

Clark, 23, is a former first-round pick of the Packers back in 2016. He’s currently in the third year of his four-year, $9.3 million contract and set to make a base salary of $1.7 million for the 2019 season.

The Packers will need to decide whether to pick up Clark’s fifth-year option in 2019.

In 2018, Clark appeared in 13 games for the Packers and recorded 55 tackles, six sacks, a forced fumble, two recoveries and three pass defenses.
