Davante Adams Questionable to Play Week 2 vs. Vikings Due to Shoulder Injury

Scott PolacekSep 14, 2018

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings due to a shoulder injury, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Adams missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday after injuring his shoulder in Week 1.

Adams suffered multiple setbacks last year, including a concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis. He was also taken off on a stretcher following a brutal helmet-to-helmet hit from Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan.

When healthy, Adams is one of the most important pieces of the Green Bay offense. He tallied a career-high 997 receiving yards and 12 touchdown catches in 2016 as he developed a rapport with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and followed up with 885 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in 2017.

He had five receptions for 88 yards and one touchdown in a 24-23 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 1.

Look for the Packers to turn toward the combination of Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison at wide receiver while Adams is out. Tight end Jimmy Graham figures to see additional targets as well considering Adams' role as a go-to receiver in the offense.

Also of note for Green Bay, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is listed as questionable after suffering a knee injury in Week 1. Rodgers left the game against the Bears midway through the second quarter due to a knee sprain, but he was able to return in the second half to rally his team from a 20-point deficit to start the season with a 24-23 victory. The two-time NFL MVP went 17-of-23 for 273 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions after returning from injury.

While Green Bay has the pieces to stay afloat without Adams (as long as Rodgers is healthy enough to play), it is difficult to envision this team delivering on Super Bowl hopes if he doesn't return to his position as a primary playmaker.
