GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It wasnt all bad news for the Green Bay Packers on the injury front this week: Receiver Davante Adams was activated for Thursday nights game against the Chicago Bears.Adams spent the week in the concussion protocol after he left last Sundays game against the Dallas Cowboys because of a blow to the head. The Packers No. 3 receiver left in the third quarter, and the team said he was being evaluated for a concussion. He said after the game that he did not have a concussion. However, he was added to the injury report on Monday with a concussion.He was listed as questionable on Wednesdays injury report as a limited participant, which means he was cleared.Adams is one of seven receivers on the Packers roster, and six will be active against the Bears. Jared Abbrederis (quadriceps) is the only one inactive.Thats far better than their situation at running back and cornerback. Theyre down to Knile Davis, who was acquired Tuesday in a trade with the Chiefs, and Don Jackson, who was promoted Thursday from the practice squad, in their offensive backfield. Theyre expected to use receivers Ty Montgomery and Randall Cobb at running back after Eddie Lacy was placed on injured reserve earlier in the day.The Packers listed Jackson as their starter. He has never played in an NFL game, including the preseason.The Packers top three cornerbacks also are unavailable. Sam Shields (concussion) was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week while Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins both are inactive with groin injuries. It leaves LaDarius Gunter, Demetri Goodson and Josh Hawkins as the only available cornerbacks.Also inactive are: S Chris Banjo, TE Jared Cook, RB James Starks, T Kyle Murphy. Murphy is the only healthy player on the list.Ecco Scarpe Offerta .

However pressure from overseas broadcasters to improve television production of Zimbabwes matches led to Hawk-Eye being used during the broadcast of their Test series against New Zealand in August.With Hawk-Eye once again being utilised in the broadcast for the series against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) expressed their desire to use DRS in the two Tests, but were unable to make the necessary arrangements in time for the first game. The DRS requires a form of ball-tracking technology as well as slow-motion cameras and either HotSpot or Snicko. It also requires a specialist third umpire to be arranged with the ICC.Because ZC did not provide the ICC with adequate notice prior to the series, the world governing body were unable to arrange a third umpire before the first Test. Ahead of the second Test, slow-motion cameras have been flown in from South Africa and the ICC have provided a third umpire.The presence of Hawk-Eye in recent broadcasts has highlighted a number of incorrect decisions against Zimbabwe. Nine of the 10 bad decisions during the New Zealand series went against the hosts, while six of the seven in the first Test of this series benefitted Sri Lanka. While the Zimbabweans have been cautious about blaming their deefeats on this decision-making - especially given that they dropped six catches in Sri Lankas first innings - there is a feeling that umpires have a tendency to give fewer decisions to lower-ranked teams.ddddddddddddThe worst decisions have often come on the final day of Tests when Zimbabwe were fighting to save the match. Zimbabwe had progressed to 68 for 1 in 29 overs in their second innings against Sri Lanka, giving them hope that they could bat out the final day, only to see Tino Mawoyo given out lbw to a delivery from Dilruwan Perera that Hawk-Eye believed was missing leg stump by some distance. They subsequently collapsed to 74 for five over the next four overs, and after a valiant effort by the lower order, came within 7.3 overs of earning a draw.I think (the errors) have been well documented, Zimbabwe coach Heath Streak said on Saturday. I think the DRS is good and its fair for everyone because it can negate the element of human error. Obviously anyone can make a mistake, but the less of those that have an influence on the game, the better.One other issue that came to the fore in the first Test was the manner in which Zimbabwe appealed to the umpires, particularly in comparison to Sri Lanka. While the hosts seemed to make little more than polite enquiries and failed to earn a single lbw in the match (Hawk-Eye showed that they should have had at least three), the Sri Lankans were vociferous with their appeals and had 10 Zimbabwean batsmen given out lbw.It is something weve spoken about, Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer said after the match. Were trying to get more verbal and louder. It can definitely change a game or change an umpires mind. We dont want to crowd the umpire, but I think Sri Lanka have got it down. Those decisions seem to go against us. ' ' '
