The Packers lost their star player before the matchup with Arizona

As a fan of the Green Bay Packers, I have been sitting here quietly enjoying the team's six consecutive victories. Never mind that they did it after being injured, especially on the defensive end of football. But due to offense, led by quarterback Aaron Rogers again, Green Bay ranks third in the overall NFC standings. However, with the Packers facing the undefeated Arizona on Thursday night, trouble is brewing, and the new crown pneumonia epidemic has hit Green Bay.

According to ESPN, star wide receiver Davante Adams (Davante Adams) was added to the COVID-19 reserve list on Monday after testing positive for the virus. The news came after head coach Matt LaFleur announced that defensive coordinator Joe Barry would be absent from the Arizona game due to COVID-19 rules. A day after beating Washington at Rambo Stadium, the teams almost met on Monday. So if Barry and Adams test positive, will the other players retire before the kick-off on Thursday night? What is the chance of Adams coming back?

If Adams is vaccinated and his positive test is because he has no symptoms, then he will need two negative tests, 24 hours apart, to participate in the Arizona game. It is possible, but unlikely. I believe we will hear his follow-up test results later this afternoon. ESPN reported that Arizona has been dealing with their own COVID problems, but they will return the two players to Green Bay. Passer Chandler Jones and defensive forward Zach Allen were both activated from the reserve/new crown pneumonia roster on Monday.

If you think that players like Davant Adams did not have a huge impact on Thursday night's game, think again. After the news of Adams, the Cardinals' points rose from 4.5 to 6 points.
