Packers receivers are banged up

The Green Bay Packers have a solid wide receiver group, but they may be without a couple of their best receivers against the Raiders. Their top receivers three receivers, Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison, and Marques Valdes-Scantling are all nursing injuries and did not take part in practice on Wednesday.

Adams currently has a toe injury, Allison has a concussion, and Valdes-Scantling is nursing an injured ankle/knee. The status of these receivers is still up in the air, but Adams has missed the last two games and is still not participating in practice. If the Packers are without a couple of these receivers, Raiders’ defensive backs will have a much easier day.

In Week 6, the Packers had a few receivers step up, such as Lazard and tight end Jimm Graham, but there is no question the Packers offense will struggle without their top receivers, even with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback.
