Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy announced on Friday that wide receiver Randall Cobb has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury.

Wide receiver Davante Adams, who's battling a calf injury, is scheduled to practice on Saturday, while the team hopes Geronimo Allison is able to return from a concussion suffered last week against the Buffalo Bills.

Cobb also missed Week 4 due to the injury. The 28-year-old has caught 17 of 27 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown through three games this season.

Adams hauled in eight of 14 looks for 81 yards against the Bills, with Allison going for 80 yards on six receptions.

Next up on the Packers' wide receiver depth chart are rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling, J'Mon Moore, and Equanimeous St. Brown. They could all see time against the Lions if Allison or Adams sit alongside Cobb. Valdes-Scantling leads the group with 41 receiving yards this season.
