GREEN BAY, Wis. – Marquez Valdes-Scantling was added to the Green Bay Packers’ COVID list on Tuesday, the latest blow to the team’s increasingly thin receiver corps.
Valdes-Scantling is coming off one of his best games of the season. On Sunday at Baltimore, he caught 5-of-7 passes for 98 yards and one touchdown. One of the league’s top deep threats, Valdes-Scantling had a 31-yard reception. He also used his strength to fight across the goal line on his 11-yard touchdown. All five of his receptions were for first downs.
Discussing his franchise-record-tying 442nd career touchdown pass, which went to Valdes-Scantling, Rodgers said, “Marquez is a special human being.
