Packers WR Davante Adams “Unlikely” To Play Thursday vs Cardinals After Being Placed On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers could potentially be without their most important offensive weapon for Aaron Rodgers for their biggest game of the season on Thursday at Arizona after Davate Adams was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Adams tested positive for COVID-19, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Schefter notes that Adams is vaccinated because he hasn’t been forced to follow protocols designed for unvaccinated players.

With a short work week and a game Thursday night vs. unbeaten Arizona, the Packers now have entered enhanced mitigation COVID protocols that call for daily testing and masks to be worn at the facility. https://t.co/5p4KoSRjna

If Adams is asymptomatic, he would need two negative PCR tests 24 hours apart to play Thursday against the 7-0 Cardinals.

Adams isn’t the only one that will be missing for the Packers, the team’s head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that the team is expected to be without defensive coordinator Joe Barry, as well.
