Packers Thursday Injury Report: Davante Adams upgraded to limited in practice The Green Bay Packers practiced in full pads on Thursday http://www.packerscheapstore.com/nick-perry-jersey-cheap , preparing for one of the toughest games of the early part of the team’s 2018 schedule. With the Minnesota Vikings coming to town in week two, all eyes will be on the Packers’ injured stars, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Although there was no change in the practice status for the team’s star quarterback — he remained a non-participant due to his knee injury — there was good news for the top wide receiver.Adams was listed as a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, a step up from Wednesday when he did not participate. Adams is dealing with a shoulder injury that he suffered in the fourth quarter of the Packers’ week one win over the Chicago Bears, and although his public comments indicate that he intends to play, that status is not quite certain.Last year, Adams played in just one of the Packers’ two games against Minnesota. He caught five of ten targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in week six, the game when Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone. However, he was inactive for the week 16 contest, as he had suffered a concussion the week before on a dirty hit by Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis.As for Rodgers, both he and head coach Mike McCarthy have said that the two-time MVP does not need to practice at all this week to be ready to play on Sunday. It is possible that he could suit up in some fashion on Saturday, but barring some unexpected setback, he will probably sit until Sunday afternoon rolls around.The one notable addition to the Vikings’ report is defensive end Everson Griffen, who popped up on the Thursday report with a toe injury. Keep an eye on his game status on Friday to see if this becomes a more significant issue that might keep him out or limited on Sunday.Here are the teams’ injury reports for Thursday (players with different statuses from Wednesday are shown in italics).Packers Thursday Practice ReportLimited Participation: WR Davante Adams (shoulder), ILB Oren Burks (shoulder)Did Not Participate: S Josh Jones (ankle), QB Aaron Rodgers (knee)Vikings Thursday Injury ReportFull Participation: CB Mackensie Alexander (ankle), RB Roc Thomas (ankle) http://www.packerscheapstore.com/davante-adams-jersey-cheap , CB Trae Waynes (knee)Limited Participation: C Pat Elflein (ankle/shoulder), DE Everson Griffen (toe)The Takeaway, Packers vs. Lions: Mike McCarthy’s problem with Aaron Jones Not all the issues with Sunday’s 31-23 loss to the Detroit Lions fall on Mike McCarthy.With personnel limitations at receiver, McCarthy couldn’t realistically open up the offense to Aaron Rodgers’ apparent specifications. Davante Adams, for all his talent and ability, cannot offset the three rookie wideouts playing alongside him. While the rookies had some positive moments against the Lions, in particular Equanimeous St. Brown’s 54-yard catch and run, the group struggled to consistently separate from defenders. Rodgers spent a handful of plays moving around the pocket waiting for an option, often failing to find one.Similarly, Rodgers’ two uncharacteristic fumbles behind the line of scrimmage and the officials’ dubious decision to award the Lions a fumble recovery on the game’s first punt fall outside of McCarthy’s control. Bad breaks happen to every team, but so many in a single game can irreparably shift the balance.But while a head coach cannot control health, fumble recoveries, or officiating, McCarthy did have full power over how the Packers deployed their available personnel, and there lies his biggest failing in Week 5.Since returning from his two-game suspension, Aaron Jones has established himself as one of Green Bay’s premier offensive weapons. Jones’ explosiveness and ability to break tackles adds a valuable dimension to the offense, and his improvements as a pass protector make him less of a liability in those situations. Specific to Sunday’s game in Detroit Cheap Aaron Rodgers Jersey , Jones probably ranked behind only Adams in terms of available skill-position players for the Packers.And yet, the Packers used Jones on only 22 plays from scrimmage, trailing both Jamaal Williams (33) and Ty Montgomery (29). Jones still led the team in rushing with 40 yards on seven carries, which further underscores the bewildering nature of McCarthy’s decision to use him so infrequently. More baffling still, Jones did not receive a single carry during the second half and received just one touch after halftime, a 12-yard checkdown reception during Green Bay’s final possession.Even with his limited workload, Jones leads all Packers in rushing yards per game, coming in 10 yards ahead of second place (Williams, 39). While McCarthy does need to safeguard against overuse with Jones, who dealt with multiple knee issues as a rookie and missed a chunk of the 2018 preseason with hamstring trouble, the second-year playmaker should never finish third in snaps among Green Bay’s running backs.That decision alone won’t sink McCarthy’s tenure, but it underscores the frustrations Rodgers and others have vocalized about him.The Rodgers-Graham connection needs workThe Packers made Jimmy Graham their biggest addition of the offseason, investing a three-year, $30 million contract in the veteran tight end to fill a longstanding void at the position.On paper, Graham provides the Packers with size and playmaking at the position that they haven’t had since at least Jared Cook and, more likely, since Jermichael Finley last played in Green Bay five years ago. Adding such a tight-end presence Youth Jamaal Williams Jersey , even one as atypical as Graham, made sense given the schematic adjustments McCarthy and returning offensive coordinator Joe Philbin wanted to implement in 2018.But reality hasn’t matched the expectations, at least not so far. Through five weeks, Graham has produced just one touchdown, putting him on pace for his second-lowest single-season total for his career. Considering that a considerable amount of Graham’s appeal derived from his exploits near the goal line. He led all tight ends in red-zone targets and touchdowns last season, and it does not appear he’ll hit similar marks this year.Yet, Graham’s production hasn’t only fallen short in the red zone. Against the Lions, he caught only six of the 11 passes sent his direction, a catch rate of just 54.5 percent. That marks the lowest such percentage of any of Green Bay’s wideouts or tight ends Sunday.And part of that shortfall comes poor timing between receiver and quarterback. In one of Graham’s few targets near the goal line Sunday, Rodgers missed him badly on a back-shoulder throw. Graham struggled to disengage the defender in time for the pass, but Rodgers could have also waited a tick longer before delivering the ball. Regardless, the play never had a chance as executed. At the moment, the two players lack the chemistry necessary to pull off such throws.Building chemistry requires time, and Rodgers and Graham have played just five meaningful games together. Still, the on-field gap between the two remains large, and it might not narrow quickly enough to make Graham a consistently dangerous part of the offense.
