Joe Barry and Davante Adams likely out for week 8 with COVID
Star receiver Davante Adams and defensive coordinator Joe Barry going into COVID protocols. With both individuals testing positive for COVID-19 following Sunday?s win over Washington, they will likely be on the shelf for week 8 as the Packers play the Arizona Cardinals on a short week.
Typically, we receive more concrete injury information about the Green Bay Packers on the Tuesday of a Thursday Night Football week, but due to the fact that the team did a walkthrough instead of a practice, the Packers released an estimation of their injury report for their second-straight day. Nothing on Tuesday?s estimation of what would have happened at practice changed from Monday?s estimation, as four starters were listed as limited participants while tackle Dennis Kelly (back) was estimated to be a player who wouldn?t have had participated in practice on Tuesday.
The four Packers starters listed as limited are as followed: defensive lineman Kenny Clark (ankle), defensive lineman Dean Lowry (ankle), outside linebacker Preston Smith (oblique), and Kevin King (shoulder/back.) Smith and King missed last week?s game, but both Clark and Lowry played and finished the game for Green Bay. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Smith not suiting up for Week 7 against Washington was ?selfless,? indicating that Smith potentially could have played but would have returned to play too early for a justifiable recovery plan. King, who has been missing time with a shoulder injury, has had his injury designation adjusted to ?shoulder/back? which is worth noting.
