Packers snap counts: Lazard sees increased playing time vs. Eagles

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard saw his highest percentage of offensive snaps on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles since his return to the field in Week 11.

After missing six games with a core injury, Lazard played in 60% of snaps vs. the Indianapolis Colts, saw it dip to 46% against the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football, then played 42 of 61 offensive plays (69%) in the Eagles game.

It was the highest percentage he played in a game since the Packers’ first three games of the season when Lazard was on the field for an average 88.7% of offensive snaps.

The Iowa State product caught three balls for 50 yards, which was his most productive game since Week 3. He had six receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown combined in his first two games back from injury.

Lazard played the third-highest amount of any Green Bay receiver against Philadelphia. Davante Adams (89%) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (75%) saw more action while Equanimeous St. Brown (18%) and Malik Taylor (8%) rounded out the wide receiver corps.

Other notes from Sunday’s snap counts:

— With regular center Corey Linsley on injured reserve, each member of the Packers reconfigured offensive line played all 61 offensive snaps. Rick Wagner was at right tackle after playing 13 snaps last week, Billy Turner slid to right guard, Lucas Patrick moved to left guard while Elgton Jenkins played a full game at center and David Bakhtiari fulfilled his normal duties at left tackle. Jon Runyan Jr., who played 70% of snaps against the Bears, did not register a snap.

— Tight end Dominique Dafney played his first snaps for Green Bay against the Eagles after being elevated from the practice squad. He was on the field for six snaps (10%), ahead of Jace Sternberger who played three snaps and left the game with a concussion. Robert Tonyan (62%) and Marcedes Lewis (57%) saw most of the action at tight end.

— Defensive tackle Kingsley Keke led the Packers with two sacks on Sunday and played 24 of 62 defensive snaps (39%). Linebackers Za’Darius Smith (84%) and Rashan Gary (58%) each chipped in with 1.5 sacks apiece.

— Rookie linebacker Kamal Martin was fairly productive in only 16 snaps, finishing with two tackles and one tackle for loss.
