Davante Adams could miss the Green Bay Packers' meeting with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday after being placed onto the team's COVID-19 list.

Adams has been in exceptional form for the Packers this season, who moved onto 6-1 with a 24-10 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday.

He scored one of the Packers' three touchdowns and finished the game a team-high 76 receiving yards. 

The wide receiver has gone over for three TDs so far in 2021, tallying up 744 receiving yards in total and recording 52 receptions.

However, there is now a big chance the 28-year-old may be out against the 7-0 Cardinals.

Green Bay could already be without defensive coordinator Joe Barry for the game in Arizona, with the coach having tested positive for coronavirus.

Barry is vaccinated, meaning he will be able to resume contact with the team once he has recorded successive negative tests. However, that is not expected to happen before Thursday and it seems Adams is in a similar position.

Per agreed-upon NFL-NFLPA policy, clubs are not permitted to comment on a player's medical status. If a player is placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, they have either tested positive for coronavirus or have been in close contact with an infected person or persons.

According to ESPN, Adams will be able to play on Thursday if he is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, shows no symptoms of the virus and returns two negative results, with a spacing of at least 24 hours between each test.

The Athletic reported that Adams is fully vaccinated, though there are still several hurdles the wide receiver would have to overcome in order to be available. 

Thursday's game sees the top sides in the NFC West and NFC North meet. Arizona and Green Bay have not played against each other since 2018, when the Cardinals triumphed 20-17.

Adams scored a touchdown in that game, finishing with eight receptions and 93 receiving yards.
