The Packers are faced with COVID-19 issues heading into the Arizona game Thursday after wide receiver Davante Adams placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. Putting Adams on the reserve/COVID-19 list means he either tested positive for COVID-19, or has been in close contact with an infected person or persons. Teams are not allowed to comment on a player’s medical status regarding COVID-19 other than referring to roster status.
Adams leads the Packers in catches (52) and receiving yards (744). He is tied for second in the NFL in catches and alone in third in yards among all receivers. The Cardinals move from a 4.5- to a 6-point favorite vs. the Packers at Caesars Sportsbook with the Adams news.

LaFleur is holding out hope for a possibility that Barry could join the team Thursday. LaFleur says Barry is vaccinated against COVID-19 and needs two negative tests.
