— -- GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers are likely to be without receiver Davante Adams for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals.

According to a source, further tests on Adams' right knee showed a possible MCL sprain.

Adams was injured in Sunday's NFC wild-card win over the Washington Redskins. After the game, he said he avoided a major injury such as a torn ACL. However, when the Packers returned to Green Bay, additional tests showed there was damage to his MCL. It's not certain how severe the sprain is, but MCL injuries do not typically require surgery.

Adams could not finish the game against the Redskins after he caught four passes for 48 yards and a touchdown.
