Adams also dealt with an ankle injury, though he was eventually able to return to the game.
The bad news for anyone tangentially interested in their health is we don’t get to find out who’s in and who’s out until about 6:30 p.m. on Monday night.
The waiting game with Packers running back Eddie Lacy and wide receiver Davante Adams will continue until 90 minutes before Monday night’s game vs. the Chiefs.

Lacy and Adams figured to have benefited from an extra day off this week. He had spent part of past year on their practice squad. The next couple of days I’ll reflect on that and then I’ll say, ‘OK, we still have a whole season.’ But it’s definitely a surreal moment. If Lacy doesn’t play, James Starks will likely dominate the backfield snaps and touches. He returned to the game after halftime. He did not appear to be 100% but looked like he was moving better than Lacy. Boyd, a third-year pro, had to be carted off the field after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half Sunday.
