Adams said earlier this season that he is vaccinated, which means his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday is due to a positive test result. The wideout will need to test negative twice 24 hours apart before being activated, which is unlikely to happen before Thursday's game at Arizona, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a tough break for Adams and the Packers on a short week of preparation, and he's now expected to miss his first game of the season. The 28-year-old would need to produce two negative tests by Wednesday to travel with the team to Arizona, while if a second negative test came Thursday he'd need to travel separately. However, Adams is likely to be out of the picture against the Cardinals, so Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Robert Tonyan should be more involved in the passing game. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) is also a candidate to return from injured reserve this week.
