Packers-Cowboys injury report: Kumerow to the rescue?

If Davante Adams is sidelined with a toe injury, the Green Bay Packers are going to need the rest of the receiver corps to pick up the slack.

Perhaps one of those players will be Jake Kumerow. Kumerow caught one pass for 12 yards against Minnesota in Week 2 but has been inactive the last two weeks while being listed on the injury report with an injured shoulder. He was full participation on Wednesday.

“We’re just looking to do the same thing we’ve been doing the last couple of weeks, really nail the game plan down and get on the same page with Aaron” Rodgers, Kumerow said. “That’s always been one of the things I’ve been trying to do since I got here is get on the same page with him. To do that, you’ve got to pay attention to detail and do it right in practice for you to get the opportunity in the game.”

Right tackle Bryan Bulaga was limited participation after being unable to finish last week’s game against Philadelphia with a shoulder injury. Outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell didn’t practice with a shoulder injury of his own; his injury perhaps had a role in an addition to the roster.

For Dallas, receiver Michael Gallup returned to practice after missing the last two games with a knee injury that required surgery. In his two games, he caught 13 passes for 226 yards – a 17.4-yard average.

“He’s a very big piece of our offense. He’s a big piece of what we try to do,” former Packers receiver Randall Cobb told reporters in Frisco, Texas. “He’s a big-time playmaker. He stretches the field really well and opens up things for everybody.”

Gallup had surgery just over two weeks ago. Even if he does play on Sunday, it’s not as if he’ll be 100 percent healthy.

“It’s still going to swell. It’s going to swell for a while, but not enough to keep me from starting to play,” he said. “The doctor said my knee is fine. I can’t really do nothing to it, it’s just I’ve got to get it through my head that I can do it.”
