"Tom reinjured his oblique -- the same problem that kept him out of Week 2 -- on the first play of Sunday's Week 3 loss at the Cleveland Browns and did not return. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Tom is not expected to play this week and that with the Packers on their bye the following week, they will reassess his status for Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals after some time off."
"It was somewhat of a surprise Tom was active against the Browns, which in hindsight, coach Matt LaFleur said was a mistake. However, LaFleur said Monday that Tom did not make the injury worse but Tom was not able to continue. "I wouldn't say he further reaggravated," LaFleur said Monday. "I think it was more or less, it's always hard to simulate what you're going to face in a game. You'd have to ask him, but I think that the force of the guy that he's going against, it hurt him. He didn't feel like he could go.""
Zach Tom reinjured his oblique on the first play of Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns and did not return. A source indicated Tom is not expected to play this week, and the Packers will reassess him for Week 6 after their bye. Tom initially sustained the oblique injury in the season opener and practiced on a limited basis last week. Coach Matt LaFleur called activating Tom against the Browns a mistake and said the game circumstances prevented him from continuing, though he did not believe the injury was further aggravated. The Packers have used four different players at right tackle through three games.
