Where in the world is Nick Perry? Perry, who is collecting $10.75 million this season, has successfully completed a disappearing act for the Packers through their first three weeks. That’s unfortunate considering he was being counted on to have a healthy season and get after the quarterback.

The health part was always the biggest question mark, as he’s dealt with injury after injury after injury. After injury. He’s going through the concussion protocol right now and it’s unclear if he’ll get the okay to play.

However, he’s typically produced when on the field, but that just hasn’t been the case this year. Through three games, Perry has only accrued one sack. The lack of a natural pass rush has been a big issue for the Packers’ defense. Mike Pettine has had to get creative with his blitzes, often leaving his young corners on an island with receivers. Whether or not Perry plays remains to be seen. But if he does, the Packers need him to revert back to his 2016 form.
