It's no secret that the main focus of Sunday night's high-profile rivalry matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys is the return of Micah Parsons to AT&T Stadium. And deservedly so.
But let's not forget that Sunday will also see longtime Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark line up against his former team for the first time.
And just as Parsons will be looking to take advantage of a depleted Dallas offensive line, Clark will be looking to do the same, as the Green Bay O-line is dealing with several injuries of its own and is easily the team's biggest weakness right now.
The Packers' offensive line issues could allow Kenny Clark and the Dallas defense to feast on Jordan Love
The Packers' offensive line has gotten progressively worse as this young 2025 season has progressed.
In Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, Green Bay allowed zero sacks, as the unit was mostly healthy. In their Week 2 win against the Washington Commanders, with superstar right tackle Zach Tom out of action with an oblique injury and free-agent acquisition Aaron Banks out at left guard with ankle and groin issues, the Packers allowed two sacks.
And this past Sunday, in an embarrassing 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns, a game that saw Tom take just one snap before sitting down and Banks exit after the first half, Love took five sacks.
Neither Tom nor Banks has practiced this week, and the Packers have taken yet another hit, as backup tackle Anthony Belton, who seemed like a strong candidate to start in place of Tom, also won't play this week. Starting left tackle Rasheed Walker has also been limited this week with a quad injury, so he will enter the game below 100 percent.
This is a problem.
Walker should be able to go, but he was absolutely dreadful against Cleveland, earning a 34.1 overall PFF grade and an abysmal 15.7 pass-blocking mark.
Elgton Jenkins currently ranks 25th of 36 eligible centers with a 58.5 overall grade, and right guard Sean Rhyan ranks 37th among all players at his position with a 59.4 overall mark. Backup guard Jordan Morgan hasn't been much help either, as he checks in with a 42.0 grade.
Again, this is a problem.
From an overall standpoint, the Dallas defense has been one of the worst in the NFL through three weeks, allowing the sixth-most points per game (30.7), the third-most total yards (397.7), and easily the most passing yards (288.0).
That said, however, most of that damage has been caused by a weak secondary. When you look at their best-performing defenders in terms of overall PFF grades, their top three players are all on the defensive line, those being tackle Osa Odighizuwa (77.5), edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. (75.0), and none other than Kenny Clark (73.7), who's tied for the team lead in sacks (it's only one but still true) and leads the team in total pressures with nine.
If the Packers' offensive line can give Love time to throw, Green Bay should have no problem winning this game. Just look at what Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears did to the Dallas defense this past week. But if it can't and Clark & Co. can get after Love the way the Browns did, the Packers could be in for a fight.
