Packers - Raiders: NFL Week 5 Monday Night Football injury report

Green Bay’s cornerback Jaire Alexander, who missed the last two games due to a back injury, is expected to be ready for the primetime showdown after being a limited participant in every practice this week.

At the time of this report, the status of Jimmy Garoppolo, the Raiders’ quarterback, remains uncertain. Although he has been an essential player in the team’s offensive strategy, he still clears the rigorous concussion protocol. Despite actively participating in recent practice sessions, his availability for the upcoming game against the Packers remains unclear. However, Garoppolo and Head Coach Josh McDaniels both expressed optimism about his participation.

The team’s star wide receiver, Devonte Adams, also has a shoulder injury. In the previous game, Adams briefly left the field due to this ailment but returned to finish the contest. Given his stature as one of the league’s premier pass catchers, Adams may opt for limited practice sessions to mitigate potential risk. Nonetheless, he is expected to play against his former team, the Green Bay Packers, in a matchup that promises intrigue.

The Raiders are also closely monitoring the status of Nate Hobs. The talented cornerback’s absence in the previous week’s game was notable. Although the defense’s performance was commendable, with standout efforts from Amik Robertson and David Long, the impending challenge posed by the Green Bay Packers underscores the importance of having Hobs in the lineup. His presence could be crucial in containing the Packers’ offensive threats, including the dynamic Christian Watson and skilled slot receivers.
