Packers News: Positives and negatives from Week 4, red zone issues
A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Thursday, October 4.
Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report.
Injuries continue to hit the Green Bay Packers offense. The team’s top three wide receivers — Davante Adams, Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison — were all on the first official injury report of the week. Adams is a surprise addition with a calf injury; he was limited at practice.
Tight end Jimmy Graham didn’t practice with a knee injury, but that’s less of a concern as he didn’t practice last Wednesday with the same issue but still played.
The best news from practice was that cornerback Kevin King was a full participant, which is a good sign for his availability in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. Green Bay needs the secondary at full strength up against the Lions’ talented trio of wide receivers in Kenny Golladay, Golden Tate and Marvin Jones.
Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
