Allen Lazard Joins Davante Adams On COVID-19 List
3 years agoThe Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Allen Lazard on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, a day after they placed receiver Davante Adams on the same list. On a short week against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night, Lazard and Adams, the team's top two receivers, are unlikely to be available for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Adams is the clear No. 1 for Green Bay and is one of the top receivers in the league with 52 catches on 73 targets for 744 yards and three touchdowns through seven weeks. Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown and rookie Amari Rodgers will all have bigger roles in Week 8, and the team isn't ruling out Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) returning from Injured Reserve to play. Cobb checks in third on the team with 14 catches (18 targets) for 179 yards and two scores this year, so he's the best plug-and-play option for those in deeper leagues or DFS.
