Why Packers WR Allen Lazard can’t play vs. Cardinals

There is no chance for Green Bay Packers receiver Allen Lazard to play on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals.

His current situation is different than that of Davante Adams, who is also on the COVID-19 reserve list. The All-Pro receiver could play on Thursday night if he’s asymptomatic and has two negative tests within 24 hours.

Lazard is working under different rules because he isn’t vaccinated. He was deemed a close contact of an infected person, likely Adams, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, and the league’s COVID-19 rules for unvaccinated players require Lazard to quarantine for five days.
