Davante Adams will likely miss the Thursday Night Football meeting with Chicago after suffering a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys.

Adams’ injury adds another to the scrapheap, the Packers already hurting at running back and cornerback. While Adams is yet to be ruled out of Thursday night’s contest, it is doubtful he returns so quickly from a concussion.

Davante Adams diagnosed with a concussion — Rob Demovsky of ESPN

Davante Adams will almost certainly sit out of Thursday night’s tilt with the Bears after suffering a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys. With Randall Cobb (back) and Jared Abbrederis (quad) both on the injury report, the Packers will need their wide receiver depth to step up. Cobb and Abbrederis’ status is unknown at this point.

McCarthy wants to rely more on run game — Tom Silverstein of Packersnews.com

While this sounds like a good idea, Coach McCarthy must prove it. Time and again he speaks about getting the running backs more touches, but it never seems to happen. Eddie Lacy’s ankle injury could limit him Thursday, but feeding him the ball when healthy is definitely a smart approach.

Packers’ injury situation not as simple as ‘give me another RB, CB’ — Rob Demovsky of ESPN

The Packers could do with some more depth at RB and CB, although as McCarthy says, it’s not as simple as that. Bringing in outside help would require cutting a player already on the roster, and there’s no guarantee the incoming player would offer an improvement. How McCarthy and Ted Thompson play this situation will be worth monitoring.

James Starks expected to miss four weeks after surgery

So we have some clarity on James Starks’ knee injury. It’s expected he will miss around four weeks after undergoing surgery on Sunday.
