The Green Bay Packers have promoted wide receiver Jared Abbrederis from their practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Saturday.

The move is likely to be a reaction to Davante Adams being listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Abbrederis will act as the Packers' fourth wide receiver if he does play Sunday, behind starters Randall Cobb and James Jones, as well as rookie Ty Montgomery.

The wide receiver was drafted by the Packers in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL draft, and has yet to see the field as an NFL player.
