Matt LaFleur: Davante Adams 'doubtful' for 'SNF' matchup vs. Saints

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 9/25/20

The Green Bay Packers offense has come out firing on all cylinders this season, but it could be without its top wide receiver against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night.

Matt LaFleur told reporters on Friday that Davante Adams is doubtful for the team's Week 3 matchup with a hamstring injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Updates:
— #Packers coach Matt LaFleur says WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is probably doubtful for SNF
— #Eagles declare WR Alshon Jeffery (foot) out for Sunday.
— #Broncos coach Vic Fangio says RB Phillip Lindsay (toe) is doubtful for Sunday but trending positively for TNF.

Adams tweaked his hamstring during the Packers' Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions and hasn't practiced all week. The 27-year-old was seen jogging on the sidelines during Friday's practice, but he didn't participate in any drills with the team.

Not having Adams for this week's "Sunday Night Football" matchup against the Saints could prove to be costly. The three-time Pro Bowler has 17 receptions this season for 192 yards and two touchdowns. However, New Orleans also are expected to be without its top wide receiver as well.

It appears Michael Thomas is heading toward sitting out for a second straight week after suffering a high ankle sprain.

If the Packers are without Adams this Sunday, they'll have to rely on Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to step up in his absence.
