The biggest question mark for the Green Bay Packers (3-1) coming into Sunday’s match-up against the Dallas Cowboys (3-1) on the road, is the availability of star receiver Davante Adams. Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur told the media on Monday, Adams is “day-to-day” after suffering a turf toe injury in the fourth quarter on Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday, Adams is “unlikely” to play on Sunday. After posting a career-high 180 receiving yards on Thursday, Adams was unable to play the majority of the fourth quarter.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Friday that Adams’ underwent an MRI and the injury is not believed to be serious. Rapoport added that if Adams was to miss time, it wouldn’t be much. With the Packers having nine days in-between games, the chances of Adams playing against the Cowboys improves. Adams was not at practice on Monday.
Meanwhile, right tackle Bryan Bulaga (Shoulder), Corner Back Kevin King (Groin), Running Back Jamaal Williams (Concussion), Safety Will Redmond (Concussion), Tony Brown (Hamstring) and Defensive Lineman Montravius Adams (Shoulder) did not practice on Monday.
Linebacker Oren Burks (Chest) practiced for the first time since Aug. 8. Burks did not have a timeline for his return but his participation in practice is a step forward to him making his regular season debut.
Of note from the Cowboys, Rapoport is also reporting, Dallas starting left tackle Tyron Smith will not play against the Packers on Sunday. Smith has a high ankle sprain.
The Packers are off today.
The Brewers season is on the line today as they play the Nationals in Washington in the National League Wild Card game.

The American League Wild Card matchup is tomorrow and features Tampa Bay at Oakland.
The Wisconsin Herd, the NBA G League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks, has acquired the returning player rights to Gerard Tarin and the 39th overall pick in the 2019 NBA G League Draft from the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
