Packers reportedly expect Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) to play Thursday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play Thursday night versus the Arizona Cardinals, reports Doug Kyed of PFF.
What It Means:
The Packers currently have Davante Adams and Allen Lazard on the reserve/COVID-19 list, so Valdes-Scantling's return could be a huge boost for Aaron Rodgers and the offense. Three-wide sets will likely consist of Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Amari Rodgers if the three receivers in question are all unavailable.
During a two-game absence for Adams in 2020, MVS led the Packers with a 20.0% target share. In the first three games this season, he registered a 15.9% target share (5.3 per game). The Cardinals are allowing the second-fewest Adjusted Passing Net Expected Points per play this season. Valdes-Scantling has a $6,500 salary on FanDuel's Thursday slate.
