Burning question for Packers: Will T.J. Slaton come to play?

Kenny Clark is likely out against the Ravens after testing positive for covid earlier in the week. That’s a big blow for the Packers against a Baltimore team that loves to run the football.

In his absence, T.J. Slaton will be asked to step up and play a big role. Slaton is a big man in the middle and can eat blocks while creating space for linebackers behind him to come up and make the play. The Packers haven’t asked much from the 2021 fifth-round pick so far, but this will be a big opportunity for the rookie.

Of course, it helps the Ravens have three backups at running back, as they’ve been completely decimated at that position. However, they have unique schemes that will try to create some open running lanes and Slaton must come to play.
