GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike McCarthy needed only one word to describe each of the six players who missed practice all week for something other than an illness: Out.

The Green Bay Packers coach used that designation for each of the following six players: receivers Davante Adams (concussion) and Jordy Nelson (shoulder), running back Aaron Jones (knee), tight end Richard Rodgers (shoulder), right guard Jahri Evans (knee) and linebacker Nick Perry (foot/shoulder).

All but Jones and Rodgers likely would have started on Sunday at Detroit in the season finale. Instead, their seasons are over.

“We only have to look to one guy for the inactive list now,” McCarthy said Friday.

The only good news among those who did not practice was with receiver Geronimo Allison, who hasn’t practiced all week because of an illness but is expected to return for Saturday’s final workout.

For Nelson, it means he will finish with his lowest numbers -- 53 catches for 482 yards and six touchdowns -- since 2010. Nelson played in the first 15 games of the season. At age 32 and with one year left on his contract at the high price of $10.25 million, Nelson faces an uncertain future with the Packers.

Likewise, Adams is scheduled to become a free agent in the offseason and would be one of the most coveted receivers if he hit the market and as long as teams aren’t concerned about his two concussions this season (and three in a 14-month stretch dating to last year).
