Cobb's injury

Shoot him up with HGH he'll be right as rain by week #1

The real RapSheet. Dude's money when reporting on Packers.

@RapSheet: Sounds like #Packers dodged a bullet with Randall Cobb’s injury. Teammates left believing it’s minor, that it’s likely just a sprain.

Sprain. That word means nothing without additional information.

@jasonjwilde: #Packers WR @rcobb18, when asked if his shoulder injury is serious: "I don’t think it will be. We’re just taking it day by day right now."

His arm didn't appear to be in a sling. If it was a separation or clavicle break, it woulda been.

After his MRI, #Packers WR Randall Cobb has an AC joint sprain, source said. It’s minor. No word on Week 1, but could have been much worse

Somebody at 1265 loves Rapaport. He always breaks GBP news. 

 

Although Glazer has his share, too. I can understand Jay's access, especially since he started training players. But he works his ass off too.

There is nothing minor concerning A/C joint separations. Range of motion is extremely limited and they hurt like hell.

Out 4-6 weeks likely; 6-8 quite possible.

Cobb doesn't have an AC joint separation. He has a grade 1 sprain. Right now he is questionable for CHI, but should be good to go for SEA.

 

 

I always wonder how the Packers feel about that.  They love to play their cards close to their chest and Ian Rapoport obviously has a reliable source inside the organization.  I wonder if they're aware of who it is that leaks the information.  I have to imagine they know and are comfortable with it.  Maybe even have protocol to give Rapoport the info?  I also wonder what, if anything, they get back from Rapoport for the access.      

     

May not be within the organization, but instead the players agent? 

Acromioclavicular injury — Acromioclavicular injury is labeled as a type I, II, III, IV, V, or VI, depending upon the extent of injury and number of ligaments involved. The type of injury can usually be determined with a physical examination and x-rays.

 

●Type I injuries involve a sprain or partial tear of AC ligaments with no injury to the CC ligaments. This causes a tender AC joint that often has mild swelling. Type I sprains usually heal within a few weeks.

 

●Type II injuries involve a complete tear of the AC ligaments and a sprain or partial tear of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments. This causes a tender AC joint, often with significant swelling (figure 2).

 

●Type III injuries involve a complete tear of both the AC and CC ligaments (figure 3). The AC joint will appear abnormal, although swelling may obscure the degree of injury. People with type III injuries have significant tenderness of the CC ligaments, which helps distinguish type III from type II injuries. Type III injuries often take longer to heal (several weeks to months).

 

●Type IV, V, VI injuries are the most severe. Treatment often requires surgery.

Yer grandkids wont believe it when you tell them about the time that AAron didn't have anybody to throw to.

I can't believe the team is comfortable with it. The way MM is so vague and secretive, I doubt they want a reporter tweeting injuries just minutes after they happen. And what about HIPAA regulations? Are those waved for pro athletes?

Wild ass guess, but it smells like Eliot to me. That little monkey is learning the biz inside and out...just like the old man taught him. 

 

Son...don't be a fart in the wind. If the organization is going to have leaks...make damn sure they are your leaks.
