Packers' Kenny Clark: In line for more work in 2017

Clark is poised for an elevated workload in 2017 due to Letroy Guion's four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Along the Packers' defensive front last season, Mike Daniels was the workhorse, earning 64.3 percent of the defensive snaps, while Guion (43.5) and Clark (32.5) were the only other D-lineman to surpass 20 percent. With Guion out of commission for the first quarter of the upcoming campaign, Clark is the candidate to earn an uptick in work, potentially blowing away his season high (42 percent in the NFC championship game) regularly from week to week. If the preceding comes to pass, Clark, a 2016 first-round pick, should build upon a 21-tackle rookie year.
