Update: Cobb AND Montgomery expected out

Packers will be shorthanded in 4 p.m. EST kickoff

Earlier we said the most notable change from our Friday update seems to involve Randall Cobb. He showed up on the injury report as questionable with a hamstring injury, but had been practicing and it seemed he'd be okay to go. But not according to Adam Schefter, who says he'll be inactive. And so will Ty Montgomery.

Here's the report on Cobb, and it's a blow to those hoping to use him in a likely shootout. And now Jay Glazer says Montgomery (illness) will sit too.

With the early games having kicked off you may not have great alternatives (if any). But it certainly means more targets for Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. And the backfield will probably be Knile Davis and Don Jackson.

Other morning updates include that Jordan Reed is expected to play for Washington, as is Josh Norman (making Washington's pass defense in that 9:30 Eastern game against Cincinnati look better).

Other early morning notes at this link. John Brown is more likely to play than Michael Floyd against Carolina's struggling secondary. Julian Edelman and Martellus Bennett should play for New England. LeSean McCoy should sit for Buffalo (but Mike Gillislee and Robert Woods are expected to play).
