Welcome back Datone!!
TBSS!!
The answer to our prayers.
Even better news: from MM's presser (ongoing), Rodgers participated fully in practice with no limitations.
Also:
@RobDemovsky: McCarthy on Lang: "TJ. was in the rehab mode today."
@TomSilverstein: McCarthy said that QB Aaron Rodgers, CB Sam Shields and S Morgan Burnett all practiced today and looked good.
Quarter 3 of the season starts on Sunday evening
Hmmm.
@RobDemovsky: McCarthy hinted there could be some roster changes coming in the next few days.
Of note, Packers reportedly re-signed rookie LB Joe Thomas today who had impressed in TC but dinged up his knee. No official announcement yet and haven't seen whether it's just PS or maybe more...
Anything that results in Brad Jones being placed on "Special Assignment" in the Human Resources department is good with me.
The answer to our prayers.
Woooooooo !
Quarter 3 of the season starts on Sunday evening
I thought it was the third half of the season! ( Car Talk reference. RIP Tommy!)
Cutler Bowl.
TBSS!
Datone has been missed, good to have him back.
put a nail in their coffin, drop those bastards to 3-6
Be careful out there.
@JeffAshPG: #Packers urge fans to be careful when buying tickets on secondary market for Sunday's #Bears game. Some reports of counterfeit tix online.
Aren't all tickets to Bears games counterfeit?
That makes sense. They have a counterfeit franchise QB.
So nice to have 2 sequential bye weeks.
Getting healthy: Tretter, Jones, Shields, Burnett, Rodgers... all practicing.
Sitton and Lang not at practice - no word on why Sitton is out. Tretter and Taylor at the guard spots.
Sitton "foot injury".
Amputation set for next TU.

What's the deal with Jarrett Boykin ? No mention of him lately

He's had a few snaps each of the last 2 games. No targets. Adams getting the action.
Sitton has a toe injury. Hurt it NOS but finished the game.

Couldn't have been too nasty, they didn't even call a toe truck
MM after practice today:
@TyDunne: McCarthy on Sitton: Had a "big injury" to his toe in New Orleans. He finished. Making progress, potentially see what he can do tomorrow.
@TyDunne: McCarthy on Tretter: Feel comfortable with him at guard position. ... Looks good. Fully recovered. Have all the confidence if JC needs to go
@RobDemovsky: McCarthy on Sitton whether it's a big injury or a big toe injury: It's both. ( )
I always laugh thinking what Vince Lombardi would say if one of his players couldn't practice/play because of a toe injury.
@JeffAshPG: #Packers to offer standing-room only tickets for #Bears, #Eagles games. $75 each, high up in south end zone. http://t.co/JD0k3kbWtt
Vince coached in the 50's and 60's - they didn't have turf or turf toes just yet
But I did come across this one about the Ice Bowl:
"Packers Linebacker Ray Nitschke developed frostbite in his feet, causing his toenails to fall off and his toes to turn purple. "
No indication of what Vince said about Ray, but he did play the next week
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein <small class="time">5m5 minutes ago</small>
Sitton says he has a torn ligament in his toe but hasn't ruled himself out. Will talk with Dr. McKenzie soon to assess the risk, treatment.

Specialist who saw Josh Sitton's scan told him: "They’ve had to do surgery on [this injury] but not typically with offensive linemen."
Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky · 3m 3 minutes ago
But Sitton added: "We feel fine that I’ll be able to go the rest of the season." #Packers
Who's "we", Josh?
He has nine others, just cut it off!
there goes his ballet career
said he tore a ligament in the big toe on his left foot. It happened sometime in the second half vs. Saints.
said he's trying different orthotics to allow him to play. If he wasn't an OL, injury would probably require surgery but specialist .
