The Packers will be without two of their biggest playmakers Sunday night in New Orleans. Both Davante Adams and Kenny Clark have been ruled out.
Adams’ hamstring injury was originally characterized as minor, and head coach Matt LaFleur said he was held out of the second half of last Sunday’s game against the Lions out of an abundance of caution. Reports early in the week indicated he was on track to play, but he never practiced. It’s the fifth game Adams has missed in the last two seasons.
The Packers elevated wide receiver Darrius Shepherd to the 53-man roster late in the week and he is active for tonight’s game.
