Rodgers-Cobb connection helps Packers beat Steelers 27-17
Aaron Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for two touchdowns and ran for another score as the Green Bay Packers won their third straight, 27-17 over the Pittsburgh SteelersOCTOBER 3, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Moved to IR Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact This was hardly a surprise given Valdes-Scantling was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Equanimeous St. Brown was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad, but it's likely Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers will see an increased workload alongside usual stalwart Davante Adams.

Packers place WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling on injured reserve
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has gone on injured reserve after hurting his ankle in a victory at San FranciscoOCTOBER 2, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Likely out for a few weeks The Packers are expected to place Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) on injured reserve, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Once Green Bay makes the move official, Valdes-Scantling will miss at least the next three games due to the hamstring injury that he suffered this past Sunday in San Francisco. However, when the clock starts to tick on his absence remains to be seen. If he lands on IR on Saturday, he'll be sidelined through at least Week 6 at Chicago. With Valdes-Scantling out of the picture for the time being, Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers and Malik Taylor will pick up the slack behind top wide receiver Davante Adams, while Equanimeous St. Brown, Juwann Winfree and Chris Blair are candidates to be called up from the practice squad on a weekly basis.

Injuries force Packers to utilize their offensive line depth

Won't play against Steelers Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Impact With Valdes-Scantling sidelined, the Packers' offense won't have the element of his speed to take the top off the Steelers' defense, though top receiver Davante Adams is no slouch when it comes to making plays downfield and Allen Lazard is capable of doing so as well. MVS will look to heal up enough to return to the field in Week 5 against the Bengals.

Logging another absence Thursday Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) won't participate in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Valdes-Scantling pulled up on a route in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win in San Francisco. He's been held out of both sessions this week as he tends to a hamstring injury, which isn't believed to be a long-term issue following an MRI, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com on Thursday. The Packers are expected to take a decision on Valdes-Scantling down to the wire, so his status for Week 4 against the Steelers may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Impact In the wake of the hamstring injury suffered by Valdes-Scantling late in the Packers' Week 3 win at San Francisco, he was unable to practice Wednesday. He has two more opportunities to get on the field this week, which will be key for the fourth-year wide receiver to put himself in a position to play Week 4. If Valdes-Scantling needs some time off, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb figure to pick up the slack alongside top wide receiver Davante Adams.

No practice Wednesday Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Valdes-Scantling merely was a spectator, which could indicate the hamstring pull he sustained late in the Packers' Week 3 win at San Francisco may not be severe. In any case, with a DNP to begin the week, he's behind the eight ball in his quest to suit up this Sunday against the Steelers. Valdes-Scantling will have two more chances to practice before that contest.

Goose egg in Week 2 Valdes-Scantling was targeted four times but did not make a catch in Monday night's 35-17 win over the Lions.
Impact Valdes-Scantling had a frustrating outing, but not really through any fault of his own. His first target was broken up along the sideline, then quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed him with a would-be one-yard touchdown later on. Valdes-Scantling subsequently was overthrown by Rodgers on two attempted deep shots in the second half when he had a step on his man. He and Rodgers will hope to get their timing down ahead of Week 3's matchup versus the 49ers.

Schrager Cheat Sheet: Packers are on watch, while Steelers, Texans start strong
What's next for the Packers? Why did the Texans start strong? Peter Schrager has the answers in his Week 2 Cheat Sheet.SEPTEMBER 19, 2021
Contained in Week 1 Valdes-Scantling was targeted seven times and caught three passes for 17 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.
Impact Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in yards per reception a season ago, but the Saints prevented him from getting loose for even one big play down the field. On the positive side, Valdes-Scantling did tie Davante Adams for the team lead in targets and was on the field for just four fewer snaps than the Packers' top wideout, so there's reason to believe he can get going Week 2 against the Lions.
