GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) and defensive tackle Kenny Clark (groin) among nine players who are questionable for Monday night's game against Atlanta.
Outside linebackers Za'Darius Smith (ankle) and Rashan Gary (ankle), cornerback Jaire Alexander (hand/knee), center Corey Linsley (groin), tight end Josiah Deguara (ankle), running back Tyler Ervin (wrist) and punter JK Scott (illness) also are questionable to face the Falcons. Linsley, Gary, Scott and Alexander did not practice Friday.
Green Bay also has placed on linebacker Christian Kirksey (pectoral) and receiver Allen Lazard (core) on injured reserve, and listed tight end Marcedes Lewis (knee) as doubtful. Lewis, who didn't practice this week, has played in 51 consecutive regular-season games since finishing the 2016 season on injured reserve with a calf injury.
Neither Adams nor Clark played in last Sunday's 37-30 win in New Orleans, but both practiced in a limited capacity this week. Head Coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday afternoon both will be given the weekend before the team determines their availability.
Clark admitted he's champing at the bit to get back on the field after only playing 15 snaps in Week 1 against Minnesota, but trusts the team doctors and trainers to make the right decision.
"Good thing it wasn't too high up to where it was like ripped off my pelvis bone or whatever," said Clark on Friday. "But it's still like a real tough injury that kept me from practicing for a minute. Took some time, took a lot of hard work for me to get back to running and all that stuff. Just trying to work at it and get back, and get better every day with it."
The Packers removed four players from the injury report who are expected to be available: guard Elgton Jenkins (back/rib), guard/tackle Billy Turner (knee), linebacker Randy Ramsey (groin), and quarterback Jordan Love (illness).
The Falcons have listed starting receivers Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle) as questionable, and ruled out safeties Keanu Neal (hamstring) and Ricardo Allen (elbow), kicker Younghoe Koo (right groin), and defensive end Takk McKinley (groin).
Both Jones and Ridley were limited in practice on Friday and Saturday.
The Falcons removed 11 players from the injury report who expected to be available: defensive tackles Grady Jarrett (hip) and Marlon Davidson (knee), defensive ends Dante Fowler Jr. (ankle) and Jacob Tuloti-Mariner (elbow), tackles Matt Gono (shoulder) and Kaleb McGary (knee), safety Kendall Sheffield (foot), receiver Russell Gage (concussion), linebacker Foy Olukun (hamstring), running back Todd Gurley (rest) and guard James Carpenter (rest).
