Is Dontayvion Wicks playing tonight? Why Packers WR is off to slow start vs. Eagles

With the Green Bay Packers dealing with injuries to several pass-catchers, wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is as important as ever.

The Packers don't have Tucker Kraft, Matthew Golden or Jayden Reed because of injuries, which leaves Jordan Loves group of pass-catchers very short-handed.

But you wouldn't know that early on in the Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, as Wicks has been quiet. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Dontayvion Wicks playing tonight?

Yes, Wicks is active on Monday night but he was not targeted on the opening series. In fact, only Josh Jacobs and Christian Watson saw passes thrown their way, and Jacobs saw six of the team's seven touches in total.

Hopefully drive No. 2 will be the one in which Wicks gets going.
