Kumerow (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to missing the past two games, Kumerow didn't rise above a limited listing on Packers injury reports. With an uncapped showing already under his belt this week, he's on pace to return Sunday at Dallas. The timing couldn't be better for Kumerow with fellow wide receiver Davante Adams' (toe) status for Week 5 up in the air. Because Kumerow displayed a rapport with Aaron Rodgers throughout the offseason and preseason, he could profit in the short term as Adams' direct backup.

Kumerow (shoulder) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Eagles, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow maintained limited showings on Packers practice reports this week, but the Packers will keep him sidelined for a second straight game as he recovers from a shoulder injury. Behind Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison, Allen Lazard and Darrius Shepherd are on hand for the sparse WR reps that linger.

Kumerow (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Eagles, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow had practiced in a limited fashion all week, so his status could be a game-time decision. If he suits up for this contest, Kumerow will be used sparingly as Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling take the lion's share of the snap count while Geronimo Allison mans the slot.

Kumerow (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow seemingly injured his shoulder in Week 2 against the Vikings and he was unavailable to suit up in Week 3. However, Kumerow has now been listed as a limited participant in four consecutive practices dating back to last Thursday, so there appears to be hope that he could return for this Thursday's game against Philadelphia.

Kumerow (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow has seen more work on special teams than offense while effectively serving as wide receiver No. 4, but his services will be unavailable for the Week 3 showdown. Look for rookie wideout Darrius Shepherd to step into the role previously occupied by Kumerow.

Kumerow (shoulder) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with Denver, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after not practicing at all in Wednesday's session. The preseason phenom has only seen the field on offense for seven snaps through two games, catching his lone target for twelve yards. If Kumerow can't play Sunday, Darrius Shepherd (hamstring) would be next in line for any work.

Kumerow (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's estimated practice, so his limited session is a step in the right direction. The 27-year-old played just six offensive snaps Week 2 versus Minnesota while recording his first catch of the season for 12 yards, but Kumerow could be in line for increased work given that the Packers traded Trevor Davis to the Raiders on Wednesday.

Kumerow (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers held a walkthrough instead of a normal practice, but it's troubling to see Kumerow surface on the injury report. Kumerow spent time on injured reserve with a shoulder injury last year, and it's unclear if this is related. The Packers traded Trevor Davis to the Raiders on Wednesday, signalling an increased role for Kumerow and Darrius Shepherd (hamstring) once they're healthy, although Shepherd has more to gain as a return man. Kumerow played six offensive snaps in Week 2 versus the Vikings and recorded his first reception of the year for 12 yards.

Kumerow caught one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's victory over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow's reception was relatively inconsequential as it came on a 3rd-and-28 play, but it did get his name in the box score for the first time this season. Kumerow played just one offensive snap Week 1, but he saw a minor increase in that department Week 2, taking the field for six plays. That was fourth among all Packers receivers, and two more than fellow wideout Trevor Davis, who played 17 snaps Week 1. Both Kumerow and Davis are long shots in fantasy leagues Week 3, but based on the snap count trends, the two have swapped spots in the pecking order heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Kumerow played just one snap on offense in Thursday's victory over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow made some noise during the preseason and appeared to be on track to open the season as the Packers' fourth receiver. However, in Week 1 that role was filled by Trevor Davis, who played 19 snaps to Kumerow's one. The depth chart behind starters Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling is not set in stone, as the combination of No. 3 receiver Geronimo Allison, Davis and Kumerow combined for just one reception, but it appears at least a couple changes will have to occur before Kumerow is in position to make a fantasy impact.
