Dean Lowry’s 2022 season came to an unfortunate end during Sunday’s win over the Miami Dolphins. The Green Bay Packers defensive lineman suffered a calf injury in the first half, forcing the team to put him on injured reserve on Tuesday. That means the Packers will ask more of Devonte Wyatt, who has been eagerly awaiting this opportunity since his 28th overall selection back in April.
Wyatt knows that just because you might be a first-round pick doesn’t mean you’re automatically a starter.
Much like they do with their wide receivers, Green Bay will rarely ask a defensive lineman to step in and play extensive snaps in their first season.
