8/26/2018 4:30:00 PM | Football
Week three of the 2018 NFL preseason wrapped up for the 11 former Bulldogs on NFL training camp rosters as we head into the final preseason game for all 32 teams on Thursday night with teams needing to trim down to its 53-man roster by Saturday at 1 p.m. PT.
WR Davante Adams (Green Bay Packers)
Adams, who had played in the Packers' first two preseason games, did not play in Friday night's 13-6 loss at the Oakland Raiders as Green Bay rested its entire first-team offense. He was able to get in some pregame work with his former Bulldog teammate and Raiders quarterback, Derek Carr, though!
Up next: Green Bay (2-1) travels to the Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. PT.
