Packers Injury Report for Week 7 vs Raiders Suggests Aaron Rodgers May Have Nobody to Throw to
By Thomas Carannante
The Green Bay Packers escaped Monday Night Football with a gift of a win over the Detroit Lions.
What characterized the night in a nutshell was Aaron Rodgers' receivers unable to haul in easy passes, which killed drives and even caused turnovers. And guess what? For a good amount of time, that was with an almost fully healthy corps (Davante Adams was the only one who was unable to play heading into the game).
Now, heading into Week 7, that unit could be even thinner.
We're not hyping anyone up here considering Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison have largely disappointed this year, but it's never a good sign when your top three receivers are in danger of missing a game.
Check out this crew Rodgers could be throwing the ball to against the Oakland Raiders:
One of those guys, by the way, is Darrius Shepherd, who muffed a punt and had a perfect pass ricochet off his face and into a Lions defender's hands (if he caught it the Packers would've had first and goal from the two-yard line).
While the Raiders are nothing to write home about, they're coming off a bye and have a winning record, while the Pack will have a short week after MNF and a very, very injured roster.
