Green Bay Packers cornerback Kevin King has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Dallas, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. King is dealing with a groin injury suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.
King was unable to practice all week with the injury. The upgrade to questionable is undoubtedly a positive development for the Packers defense, who start King on the outside, though it remains to be seen if he will play on Sunday.
If out, King will miss the 18th game of his three-year career. He has played in 19 since the Packers took the former Washington Husky in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
For the season, King has started in three of four games, while tallying 17 combined tackles and four pass deflections. Per Pro Football Reference, quarterbacks are eight for 18 for 163 yards and a touchdown when targeting King in 2019. He allows a 72.2 passer rating in coverage.
In other injury news, Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is out with a turf toe. Linebacker Oren Burks (chest) and defensive lineman Montravius Adams (shoulder) are both out for Sunday's game. Linebacker Kyler Fackrell (shoulder), wide receiver Jake Kumerow (shoulder), and linebacker Za'Darius Smith (knee) are all considered questionable.
On the other side of the ball, the Cowboys will be without left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle). Nose tackle Antwuan Woods (knee), defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford (hip), and wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) are questionable.
