Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur addressed the absence of guard Kevin Zeitler, explaining why the veteran offensive lineman was not playing. The clarification comes after the Packers' October 18 game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field, where Zeitler was notably absent from the lineup.

LaFleur did not disclose specific details regarding the reason for Zeitler's absence in his public remarks. The 34-year-old guard, who joined Green Bay in the offseason, had been a regular starter prior to the game against Dallas.

The Packers' offensive line configuration adjusted accordingly, with the team securing a victory over the Cowboys. Further updates on Zeitler's status are expected as the week progresses.
