The Green Bay Packers‘ offensive line is a major problem right now.
Playing Elgton Jenkins at center hasn’t worked out, and second-year tackle Jordan Morgan has left plenty to be desired.
That’s why, sometimes, not having a player on the field is just what people need to realize how important he is.
With that in mind, insider Wendell Ferreira gushed about tackle Zach Tom, who did not play in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys because of an oblique injury.
“Outside of Jordan Love, Zach Tom is the most valuable offensive player on the Packers. It’s been clearer over the past two weeks,” Ferreira wrote on X.

The Packers chose to give Tom another week to heal.
But the offensive line has crumbled without its starting right tackle, and he can’t return soon enough.
The Packers are also without Aaron Banks, which has hindered their ability to establish the run so far this season.
Though running back Josh Jacobs finally broke out on “Sunday Night Football,” he did so against one of the worst defenses in the NFL.
The Packers need to get Tom, Banks and wide receiver Christian Watson on the field.
They have a myriad of weapons, but they can only do so much if their better players aren’t available.
While it’s too early to talk about a crisis, it’s clear that the fan base has lost its patience with head coach Matt LaFleur, who isn’t going to get a pass because of injuries for much longer.
