NFL Week 3: Davante Adams sidelined on first Saints-Packers injury report

The New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers released their first injury report ahead of their Week 3 kickoff on “Sunday Night Football.”

The New Orleans Saints did not hold a practice session on Wednesday after traveling back home on a short week, so they estimated practice participation for all players managing injury situations. That means we shouldn’t look too deeply into anything just yet; these statuses are only educated guesses from the Saints medical staff.

That isn’t the case for the Green Bay Packers injury report. Green Bay held Davante Adams, their best wide receiver, out of practice after he exited their Week 2 game with a hamstring injury, and defensive tackle Kenny Clark also rested (while listed with a groin injury).

Their status should be monitored as the week progresses, but Adams’ situation feels very similar to the hamstring issue Mike Evans dealt with before the Saints’ season opener. For now, we should look to Sunday’s night game with the expectation that he will line up against Marshon Lattimore.
