Headed for game-day decision Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) is traveling to Arizona for Thursday's game against the Cardinals and hopes to play, potentially setting up a game-day decision, Doug Kyed of Pro Footb...

Impact The Packers have until 4 p.m. ET on Thursday to activate Valdes-Scantling from injured reserve for the game. They might've been inclined to wait another week, until Davante Adams and Allen Lazard both landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With the team's wideout group severely depleted, Valdes-Scantling is hoping to play in Thursday's game without first completing a practice, after missing the past three weeks due to a hamstring injury. It's a situation where a pitch count would make sense, though he could still see plenty of targets on limited snaps if his hamstring feels okay and the Packers don't have Adams in the lineup.

Could return Thursday Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) has a chance to return for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact Valdes-Scantling has missed the last four weeks with a hamstring issue, but he participated in running drills Monday. Coach Matt LaFleur said the 27-year-old will be evaluated Tuesday to see how he feels, but he seems to have a good chance to return to game action this week if he isn't feeling sore.

Moved to IR Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact This was hardly a surprise given Valdes-Scantling was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Equanimeous St. Brown was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad, but it's likely Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers will see an increased workload alongside usual stalwart Davante Adams.

Packers place WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling on injured reserve

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has gone on injured reserve after hurting his ankle in a victory at San Francisco

OCTOBER 2, 2021 • Associated Press

Likely out for a few weeks The Packers are expected to place Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) on injured reserve, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Once Green Bay makes the move official, Valdes-Scantling will miss at least the next three games due to the hamstring injury that he suffered this past Sunday in San Francisco. However, when the clock starts to tick on his absence remains to be seen. If he lands on IR on Saturday, he'll be sidelined through at least Week 6 at Chicago. With Valdes-Scantling out of the picture for the time being, Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers and Malik Taylor will pick up the slack behind top wide receiver Davante Adams, while Equanimeous St. Brown, Juwann Winfree and Chris Blair are candidates to be called up from the practice squad on a weekly basis.

Won't play against Steelers Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact With Valdes-Scantling sidelined, the Packers' offense won't have the element of his speed to take the top off the Steelers' defense, though top receiver Davante Adams is no slouch when it comes to making plays downfield and Allen Lazard is capable of doing so as well. MVS will look to heal up enough to return to the field in Week 5 against the Bengals.

Logging another absence Thursday Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) won't participate in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Valdes-Scantling pulled up on a route in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win in San Francisco. He's been held out of both sessions this week as he tends to a hamstring injury, which isn't believed to be a long-term issue following an MRI, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com on Thursday. The Packers are expected to take a decision on Valdes-Scantling down to the wire, so his status for Week 4 against the Steelers may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Impact In the wake of the hamstring injury suffered by Valdes-Scantling late in the Packers' Week 3 win at San Francisco, he was unable to practice Wednesday. He has two more opportunities to get on the field this week, which will be key for the fourth-year wide receiver to put himself in a position to play Week 4. If Valdes-Scantling needs some time off, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb figure to pick up the slack alongside top wide receiver Davante Adams.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Valdes-Scantling merely was a spectator, which could indicate the hamstring pull he sustained late in the Packers' Week 3 win at San Francisco may not be severe. In any case, with a DNP to begin the week, he's behind the eight ball in his quest to suit up this Sunday against the Steelers. Valdes-Scantling will have two more chances to practice before that contest.
