It sure is nice to have a guy like Cobb in situations like these. That's not to say that Cobb can replace Adams, but without Cobb and assuming MVS isn't ready by Thursday, the alternative would be Lazard, a rookie with with 2 catches in the slot, and uhh, I guess St. Brown on the outside? Two guys from the practice squad as #4&5?
With Adams very likely out, the best case is Lazard and MVS on the outside, Cobb in the slot, and Amari Rodgers and St. Brown providing the depth - which isn't a terrible lineup.
Plus if Bahktari is playing, that could mean using Tonyan more in the passing game (less Lewis as a blocker/6th OL), and splitting out Aaron Jones more in empty back sets. I think they have the players on offense to make up for missing Adams. If it will be enough vs Arizona is another question though.
