The Green Bay Packers are returning a starting offensive lineman from injury to start training camp. According to general manager Brian Gutekunst, offensive lineman Zach Tom will be coming off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list ahead of Monday’s practice, the first of training camp.
Gutekunst said Tom would likely be limited at practice to start camp.
“Zach is going to come off PUP this morning, so he’ll be out there today. He’ll be a little limited as we get going here, but he’s doing great,” Gutekunst said.
Tom, a 17-game starter at right tackle last season, tore his pectoral muscle during the offseason and missed most of the offseason workout program.
Tom reported to training camp last Wednesday. He was placed on the PUP list, but it appears his stay on the injury list will only last a few days.
Tom was excellent in his first season as a full-time starter. He allowed only two sacks and 33 total pressures and committed only three penalties over almost 1,100 offensive snaps. At Pro Football Focus, Tom was the Packers’ highest graded offensive lineman.
Gutekunst said tight end Tucker Kraft, who also tore his pectoral muscle, isn’t quite ready to return but is ahead of schedule in his recovery.
