GREEN BAY Aaron Ripkowski Color Rush Jersey , Wis. — The Green Bay Packers were missing star quarterback Aaron Rodgers when they closed last season with a road loss to the Detroit Lions.When the Packers return to Detroit on Sunday, Rodgers could be without his top three receivers.Davante Adams injured a calf on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday.More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinPhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary’s biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistryRandall Cobb injured a hamstring last week, didn’t play on Sunday against Buffalo and hasn’t practiced this week.Geronimo Allison suffered a concussion last week and hasn’t practiced this week, either.“We got a little thin at practice,” coach Mike McCarthy said on Thursday morning.That’s one way to put it.Of the Packers’ 103 completed passes for 1,185 yards and seven touchdowns, 64 catches, 768 yards and six touchdowns have been made by Adams, Allison and Cobb.The receivers who potentially could be in the lineup on Sunday have a combined two catches for 41 yards and zero touchdowns.The next men up are rookies: fifth-round draft pick Marquez Valdes-Scantling, fourth-round pick J’Mon Moore and sixth-round pick Equanimeous St. Brown.“At some point in the season, your young players are going to play https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Demetri-Goodson-Jersey , and our receiver position is potentially in that situation,” McCarthy said.Valdes-Scantling played 20 snaps in the first three games and 54 on Sunday against Buffalo, when Cobb was inactive. He has the two receptions. Moore didn’t play on offense in the first three games before playing 11 snaps after Allison went down against Buffalo. St. Brown hasn’t played on offense.“They’re getting better,” Rodgers said. “You guys don’t see the practices, but J’Mon’s been making a lot plays in practice and improving and same with Eq. (Valdes-Scantling’s) been ahead of those guys for a while and getting more opportunities, as you saw last week with Cobby being out and him being first up.7<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Upon Further Review: Packers vs. BillsAP | Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.“But I told those guys before Week 1, ‘You’re all going to get an opportunity at some point. When you step in, there’s an expectation you’re going to make the plays.’ So, we’ve got to keep improving in practice.”There’s time for one or more of the starters to get healthy. With their pedigrees, McCarthy would feel comfortable playing any of the three without any practice time.Still, there appears to be at least a decent chance that Green Bay will go into a key NFC North game without any of its top three receivers.“I think we’ve still got some progress to make before I think both sides would be comfortable,” Cobb said. “It’s a long season and we’re on Game 5, but at the same time JK Scott Jersey , it’s a short season, and we’re on Game 5.“So, it’s trying to balance both of those. If something was to happen and I re-injure the same hamstring, it’s going to put me out for double the time. So, it’s trying to be smart on both sides of it, which I struggle with because I play through emotion.”Of the three rookies, Moore entered training camp as the front-runner to be the team’s No. 4 receiver.However, as Moore dropped passes throughout the summer, Valdes-Scantling’s consistency allowed him to jump to the top of the list.“I always prepare like I’m going to be the No. 1 receiver,” Valdes-Scantling said.“You just never know. This game is a contact sport where injuries are 100 percent bound to happen, so you just never know when someone will go down, and you’ve got to prepare to play every position and every play.”Given the outlook at receiver, Rodgers might have to direct the passing game elsewhere. Tight end Jimmy Graham is fourth on the team with 16 receptions and running back Ty Montgomery Brett Favre Color Rush Jersey , who started his career as a receiver, is fifth with 11.Notes: For the second consecutive week, Rodgers practiced on Thursday. He had limited participation last week but full this week … To bolster the receiver group, Green Bay signed DeAngelo Yancey to the practice squad. A fifth-round pick last year, he spent all of his rookie season on the practice squad. … CB Kevin King, who injured a groin in Week 2 vs. Minnesota and has missed the past two games, had full participation for the second consecutive day, but S Kentrell Brice was added to the report and was limited by an ankle injury.

Rodriguez/Getty ImagesThe Green Bay Packers’ class in the 2019 NFL Draft is complete. The team made just one trade, on the draft’s first day, giving up their two fourth-round picks to move up for safety Darnell Savage. As a result, general manager Brian Gutekunst stayed put with his four day-three picks on Saturday, and the final selection has come in.That pick, the 224th overall selection https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Paul-Hornung-Jersey , is a linebacker: Ty Summers from TCU. Summers is another great athlete, who ran a 4.51-second 40-yard dash at the 2019 Combine and measured in at 6-foot-1 and 241 pounds. Summers also has excellent agility skills, running the 3-cone drill in a reported 6.84 seconds at his Pro Day, and he posted a very impressive 27 reps on the bench press in Indy.Summers’ production at TCU was solid as well. He bounced between linebacker and defensive end, recording 22.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks over his career. He also had a pair of interceptions and was named second-team All-Big XII as a sophomore linebacker in 2016. However, he projects as an inside linebacker in Green Bay.In addition to being a tremendous athlete, Summers is a great character individual for the locker room. He was named a semifinalist for the Collegiate Man of the Year award in 2018.The Packers’ draft now wraps up, but player acquisition is not over. Stay tuned for news about undrafted free agent signings as the seventh round of the draft wraps up shortly.
