Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) is traveling to Arizona for Thursday's game against the Cardinals and hopes to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the contest, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
The Packers have until 4 p.m. ET on Thursday to activate Valdes-Scantling from IR. They might have been inclined to wait another week, until Davante Adams and Allen Lazard both landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With the team's wideout group severely depleted, Valdes-Scantling is hoping to play in Thursday's game without first completing a practice, and after missing the past three weeks due to a hamstring injury. It's a situation where a pitch count would make sense if Valdes-Scantling suits up, though he could still see plenty of targets on limited snaps if his hamstring feels OK.
