ro Bowl this week https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Corey-Linsley-Jersey , and both of them are rightfully considered to be among the very best players at their positions in the entire NFL. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been in that upper echelon for some time now — really, since the team’s 2010 Super Bowl run — but his favorite receiver, Davante Adams, is just now in that conversation.We at APC saw Adams coming this offseason, however, and the Packers’ front office did as well. When he signed his four-year, $58 million deal, it seemed a bit high for a player who had not quite cracked the 1,000-yard mark in a single season. However, Adams has outperformed even that big deal, which made him the ninth-highest-paid receiver in the NFL this season; he sits in the top five in receptions Jaire Alexander Jersey , yards, and touchdowns, and is legitimately in the conversation about who is the best receiver in the league.Thus, it was no surprise to see him voted to the Pro Bowl on the first ballot, and he should have a chance at some All-Pro honors after the season concludes as well.Meanwhile, Rodgers had a down year in 2018, but he still earned a Pro Bowl appearance, due perhaps in part to his reputation among other NFL players. Young quarterbacks especially seem drawn to watching him and learning from him, including the one who will be starting opposite him on Sunday in the Meadowlands.

After Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday night that the Packers' nose tackle was going on injured reserve, Clark has yet to be officially placed there.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have placed receiver Geronimo Allison on injured reserve and continued to reshuffle their secondary by releasing safety Jermaine Whitehead and signing cornerback Will Redmond from the practice squad.Allison injured his groin in practice last week and might need surgery. He had 20 catches for 303 yards and two scores in five games, having also missed time with a hamstring injury.The loss of Allison means more snaps for emerging rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who is averaging a 21.1 yards per catch.Whitehead has 17 tackles in seven games this year, making two starts. He was ejected from the 31-17 loss at New England on Sunday after being whistled for unnecessary roughness for slapping Patriots center David Andrews in the face during a shoving match.Redmond was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 11. A third-round draft pick in the 2016 draft by the 49ers, Redmond has also spent time in the Chiefs organization.Green Bay claimed safety Ibraheim Campbell off waivers from the New York Jets this week. Campbell has also played for the Texans and Cowboys.
