Roundup: Packers WR Davante Adams out for 'MNF'

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will miss his second straight game due to turf toe, as he received an out designation on Saturday via the team injury report. Joining Adams on the sideline will be first-round rookie safety Darnell Savage. The starter injured his ankle last week against the Cowboys.

Also out on Monday for the Packers will be tight end Robert Tonyan with a hip injury, while cornerback Tony Brown (hamstring) is doubtful.

On a more positive Packers note, starting center Corey Linsley has passed concussion protocol and told reporters he's ready to play on Monday.

Here is other news we're following on Saturday:

Jets linebacker Brandon Copeland was activated following a four-game suspension and Falk was waived, New York announced on Saturday.

Copeland, who was suspended for four games due to violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, began his career with the Lions in 2015 before finding a breakout campaign in 2018 -- his first season with the Jets in which he tallied 10 starts.

Falk, originally drafted in 2018 by the Titans, played his first game in Week 2 of the 2019 season and was forced into the starting role after Trevor Siemian, who had replaced Sam Darnold, was lost for the season. Falk made his first and second starts of his NFL career in Week 3 and Week 5, respectively. He struggled with no touchdowns and three interceptions over the three games.

The Jets later announced they signed nose tackle Steve McLendon to a contract extension through the 2020 season. Having started his career with the Steelers from 2010-2015, McLendon has been a run stuffer at the center of the Jets' defensive line since 2016, having playing in 43 games with 119 tackles.

  1. Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed never made it on the field in 2019 and never made it out of concussion protocol, bringing about the team announcing Saturday he was placed on the reserve/injured list. Reed has missed games in seven of his seasons with the Redskins. In a corresponding move, the team announced the promotion of defensive back Jeremy Reaves from the practice squad.
  1. Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson (groin) will not be making the trip to play the Los Angeles Chargers and has been downgraded to out, the team announced on Saturday.
