Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals (-6.5) (Thursday)
Davante Adams reportedly did not make the trip to Arizona with the Packers on Wednesday, which would indicate that he is very much unlikely to play Thursday. Meanwhile, Allen Lazard will be out because he is unvaccinated and couldn't be cleared in time. Neither of these Green Bay receivers are on the official injury report because they've been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
As for the Cardinals, the big blow comes on the defensive side of the ball as J.J. Watt will be sidelined for this matchup due to a shoulder injury. Watt did not practice all week, so the writing was on the wall for him to potentially miss time. As for Hopkins, he did not practice all week due to that hamstring injury, but the team is still holding out hope that he'll play after listing him as questionable.
The Eagles were missing several important players at practice Wednesday. Among them were wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (back), defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (shoulder), safety Anthony Harris (thumbs/groin), cornerback Zech McPhearson (hamstring), running back Miles Sanders (ankle/foot) and wide receiver DeVonta Smith (headache).
