Marquez Valdes-Scantling Doubtful To Play Saturday
3 years agoGreen Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) is doubtful to play on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round. Valdes-Scantling was limited in Tuesday's practice, but he was a spectator on Wednesday and Thursday, making it unlikely that he plays this weekend after injuring his back in the Week 18 regular season finale. The good news for the Packers is that they are getting Randall Cobb (abdominal) back from Injured Reserve, and he's expected to play on Saturday. Cobb has nice chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and will be a useful reinforcement for the receiving corps, but Allen Lazard should operate as the No. 2 behind Davante Adams against San Francisco.
