Adams active for MNF vs. Packers despite shoulder injury
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is active for Monday night's matchup with the Green Bay Packers despite a shoulder injury.
Adams, who was listed as questionable, missed two practices and was limited in the final session ahead of the prime-time game against his former team.
The star pass-catcher was injured after falling hard on his right shoulder while being tackled by a Los Angeles Chargers defender during last week's loss.

See why he may need pain killing injection to return from shoulder injury. https://t.co/6CC9IcLphu pic.twitter.com/ruRGGLTzNL
The Raiders acquired Adams from the Packers for first- and second-round picks in a blockbuster trade in March 2022. He put together one of his best campaigns in his first year in Las Vegas, catching 100 passes for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns to earn first-team All-Pro honors.
The 30-year-old has 33 receptions for 397 yards and three touchdowns this season.
Adams established himself as one of the Packers' finest-ever receivers during his eight-year stint in Green Bay, setting the club's single-season receiving yards record (1,553) and racking up the second-most receiving touchdowns (73) and catches (669) in franchise history.
The Raiders enter the Week 5 matchup at 1-3, while the Packers own a 2-2 record.
