Packers' Kenny Clark replacement is quietly breaking out (and nobody saw it coming)

With Devonte Wyatt and Lukas Van Ness ruled out, the Green Bay Packers had some questions regarding the defensive line in Week 7.

Fortunately, Micah Parsons produced a career-high three sacks, while Rashan Gary flipped the game with a strip sack. But at defensive tackle, one Green Bay defender is going under the radar, stepping into a larger role and setting the foundation for a strong defensive squad: Colby Wooden.

Wooden, the fourth-round pick from 2023, has stepped up during Wyatt's absence. He secured a starting position at left defensive tackle following Clark's departure, and with large shoes to fill, the 24-year-old is coming into his own.
