Filling in for another Pro Bowler, Packers rookie Zach Tom holds up against Bills

The Green Bay Packers had to make another last-minute adjustment to their offensive line, this time just 90 minutes before their matchup with the Buffalo Bills. After landing on the injury report with a foot injury, Elgton Jenkins was ruled out for Sunday’s game, paving the way for rookie Zach Tom to make his second career start.

Last week, Tom filled in at left tackle in place of David Bakhtiari after he experienced some discomfort in his surgically repaired knee the day before the team faced the Washington Commanders. Tom did a solid job against the Commanders’ pass rush, not allowing a single pressure in 41 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. His performance earned him the highest grade among Green Bay’s offensive linemen.
