The Packers benefitted from a well-timed bye week this season. In addition to Adams, Green Bay also had defensive tackle B.J. Raji (groin), safety Morgan Burnett (calf) and linebacker Nick Perry (shoulder) were all on the field during Monday's practice, according to Michael Cohen of the Journal Sentinel.
