Valdes-Scantling has been in-and-out of the lineup and the extra time has not helped his back issues. His health is important because it is unlikely that Randall Cobb plays a large chunk of this weekend's divisional game after having core muscle surgery.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that he "would anticipate him (Randall Cobb) playing in this game.”

We all know Cobb's chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, but there is concern with Cobb coming off core muscle surgery getting a lot of action immediately.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) and WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) were limited during Wednesday's practice. QB Aaron Rodgers (toe) did not practice.

Rodgers will continue to rest as needed. Jones should play and will also rest as much as needed. MVS is a new injury and should be closely monitored.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) and WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) are questionable for Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.

As great as having Jones in the backfield would be, his presence in the passing game would be the biggest boon for the Packers. Lazard has been a safe target, especially when looking to convert on third downs.

Packers WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 11's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Lazard has been dependable despite a quiet passing attack from Green Bay. Look for Randall Cobb to take the intermediary passing work in Minnesota.

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is not expected to play on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals.

There was some hope that MVS would be able to return for tonight's contest to provide some cover for a receiver room that will be missing Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, but that does not look to be in the cards. Green Bay will be forced to roll with Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers, and Malik Taylor as their top three wide receivers. Cobb is currently our 42nd ranked wide receiver for Week 8.

Current expectation is Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be activated off IR and play Thursday night against the Cardinals, per source.

Green Bay will monitor MVS's hamstring this week, but it's potential good news with Davante Adams on the COVID-19 list, the tweet went on to say. Of course, Allen Lazard was added to the COVID list Tuesday, and the status for both players is currently up in the air.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) will miss Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Without MVS, Amari Rodgers and Randall Cobb should see more work alongside Allen Lazard and Davante Adams.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN noted on Twitter Wednesday that Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is easily having his best camp as a Packer. Demovsky later tweeted that QB Aaron Rodgers hit MVS for a 33-yard touchdown during their two-minute drill in a joint practice against the New York Jets.

For all his faults, MVS has remained within arm's reach of Aaron Rodgers's trust circle and appears to have cemented a coveted spot inside it. The Packers have a gaping hole at WR2 behind Davante Adams, and the field-stretching wideout looks to be the favorite to secure a large portion of receiver snaps.
