Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that WR Allen Lazard is a game-time decision this week.

The addition of Lazard would be welcomed the first place Packers, but it is also not surprising that the team is taking its time deciding when to make him active. If Lazard plays, it is more than likely that he would be on a snap count.

According to ESPNAllen Lazard could make his return to the field in Week 10.

As ESPN points out, Allen Lazard has not been appearing on practice reports because he is still technically in the 21-day window the Packers have to activate him following his return to practice. Lazard had a career day with Davante Adams sidelined, and hopefully that confidence and swagger can carry over into making him into a true number two wideout. If Lazard can put it all together on a consistent basis, the Green Bay Packers offense will become even more unstoppable. We should have an idea by Saturday on whether or not the Packers plan to play Lazard on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard practiced for the second straight day.

Allen Lazard seems to be making good progress in his recovery and has even returned to the practice field. The Packers are not required to divulge his participation level as he is still on the injured reserve list, but the video linked above suggests that he may have earned the limited tag if he was listed. Lazard will provide a major boost to the Packers passing game when he returns, but he is still a far from ideal number two receiver in the year 2020. He is inching closer to a return, though fantasy managers should continue to plan to be without him until the Packers officially activate him.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard underwent core muscle surgery and will be out indefinitely.

Allen Lazard had a career day in Week 3 with Davante Adams sidelined but appears to have aggravated or suffered a core muscle injury that required surgery. Marquez Valdes-Scantling will need to step up as the team's number one receiver if Davante Adams does not feel healed enough for Monday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons. MVS is currently our 29th ranked wide receiver for Week 4. Davante Adams has stated that he will only play if he is 100%.

According to Matt Schneidman on Twitter, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard was absent from Thursday's practice with an unspecified injury.

Lazard will be listed on the injury report when it is released later today. This is the first practice of the week for the Packers, so there is no reason to be overly concerned, but this is a situation to monitor. If he does not take the practice field on Friday, fantasy managers should start making contingency plans since the Packers play on Monday night. Lazard is our 34th ranked receiver for Week 4.
