Packers Top Receiver Allen Lazard Out Sunday vs. Bills

An extremely tough season for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers won’t get any easier on Sunday, when Green Bay travels to face the Bills on Sunday Night Football. On Friday, the Packers announced that Rodgers will be without his top pass catcher, wide receiver Allen Lazard, to add to the adversity that the team has faced during its recent three-game slide.

In the team’s Friday practice report, the Packers ruled out Lazard with a shoulder injury, along with cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles (ankle) for Sunday’s game.

Lazard, who leads the team with 340 yards and four touchdowns, joins second-leading receiver Randall Cobb on the sideline. Cobb is on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Tight end Robert Tonyan will enter the game as the team’s leading receiver with 30 receptions for 251 yards. He has one score on the season.
