The Packers were back on the practice field on Wednesday preparing for their game with the Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday where the Pack is 4-0 at AT & T Stadium. The Packers are dealing with a number of injuries and question marks going into the game. Wide receiver Davante Adams missed practice for the second time this week due to a toe injury. Adams did rehab with Packers trainers during practice on Wednesday.
His availability for Sunday is unknown, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday that he is “unlikely” to play against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Packers are preparing to play without their star receiver but for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, said he wouldn’t be surprised if Adams did play. In other injury relaed news, starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga returned to practice on Wednesday. Bulaga left Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles in the third quarter with a shoulder injury.
