A

Making his team debut, Waddle made very good use of his one opportunity during his brief time in the game Friday. The speedy offseason addition got loose down the seam on a third-and-5 play and gained an additional 10 yards after the catch to put Denver deep into Green Bay territory. Waddle looked completely unencumbered by the muscle tightness in his leg that had plagued him earlier in the week, and Friday's cameo may represent the extent of the 2021 first-round pick's game action until a Week 1 Monday night road showdown against the Chiefs.
