Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said WR Davante Adams "looked great" and will be "ready to go" Sunday against the Tampa Buccaneers, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com.

After the turmoil stirred prior to Week 4's game against Atlanta, the Packers eliminate any drama of Adams not playing today. His welcome back gift is a matchup against top cornerback Carlton Davis. Adams is a locked in play but will have his work cut out for him.

Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is practicing in full for Week 6 and is fully expected to play Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Adams has missed two games with a bad hamstring but it sounds like he should be fully healthy and ready to rock against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The Packers didn't skip a beat with Adams out of the lineup, but his combination of talent and a dominant target share from a scorching-hot Aaron Rodgers makes him an immediate WR1 upon his return.

Davante Adams (hamstring) didn't appear to have any setbacks during the bye and is practicing Monday.

Adams was frustrated in Week 4 when the Packers sat him against the Falcons. With a bye in Week 5, the Packers were likely just making sure to give their star some extra rest for the long haul. Looks like Adams should be ready to go in Week 6.

Davante Adams was not happy.

The Packers receiver was ready and wanted to play Monday night against the Falcons at Lambeau Field.

Adams’ unhappiness was on display briefly when he discretely called out the team in a tweet Monday morning before deleting it shortly after the posting. It read:

“Sorry fans and friends I wont be on the field tonight. I’ve done everything I need to do and proved Im ready but I guess I don’t know my body as well as others. Good luck out there my boys”

Perhaps the Packers felt comfortable enough to sit out Adams in a home game against the winless Flacons. Their plan looks like it paid off. The team has a bye in Week 5 so it seems like there's a good chance Adams is ready to go Week 6.

Aaron Rodgers was trying to avoid the Atlanta pass rush and tumbled to the turf in awkward fashion as part of that effort. He got back up slowly, but remained in the game and told Lisa Salters of ESPN after the final whistle that he was more red-faced about how the play looked than he was concerned about his health.

Rodgers said he was more embarrassed than anything but did admit after the game, “My ankle kinda, or knee, something, kinda hyperextended maybe a little bit but I’m alright.” As the story added, the Packers have a bye in Week 5 so there’s plenty of time for Rodgers to make sure all is well.

Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams broke a bit of news on Monday morning, revealing via Twitter that he won’t be playing against the Atlanta Falcons on “Monday Night Football.”

In case the tweet from Adams gets deleted, here’s the full, unedited copy: “Sorry fans and friends I wont be on the field tonight. I’ve done everything I need to do and proved Im ready but I guess I don’t know my body as well as others. Good luck out there my boys”.

Adams wrote he did “everything” to recover and “proved” he was ready to play but the Packers medical staff had the final say and apparently overruled him, meaning he’ll miss a second-straight game with a hamstring injury, the story said. With Adams apparently out, Valdes-Scantling gets a bump in value as does TE Tonyan. Taylor could also be a factor.
