The Green Bay Packers got some positive medical news Saturday.
The team announced that three of the Packers' questionable players have been upgraded to probable:
- Defensive tackle Mike Daniels (hamstring)
- Guard t.J. Lang (shoulder/ankle)
- Wide receiver Davante Adams (foot)
As announced Friday, the Packers won't have both Sam Shields and Ty Montgomery for Sunday's showdown.
Sam Shields has not cleared enough of the league's concussion protocol to be given medical permission to play against the Oakland Raiders.
The Packers say that rookies Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins will play more of a role at the outside cornerback slot.
This season, Shields has three interceptions in 12 games, a fumble recovery and 37 solo tackles.
Randall has two interceptions and 38 solo tackles on the year. Rollins has a pair of picks and 16 solo tackles.
Montgomery is having continual issues with his ankle. He practiced for a short time Wednesday, but did not Thursday. He has not played since the San Diego game on October 18.
Center Corey Linsley (ankle) is still listed as questionable.
Six Packers are probable besides the upgraded three:
- Tackle David Bakhtiari (knee)
- Tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle)
- Cornerback Casey Hayward (hamstring)
- Linebacker Clay Matthews (ankle)
- Linebacker NicK Perry (shoudler)
- Guard Josh Sitton (back)
The entire starting offensive line is on the injured list. The team did not practice on Friday, but will Saturday in Oakland.
