Training Camp News and Notes

He also ditched the ice pack after not having it on long at all. MM didn't really address in his Presser, reporters tweeted they didn't think it was a serious injury, and no one pressed MM in his conference on it.

That's pretty much how it was pre-Internet. Damn that Al Gore.

Jordy situation is bringing back memories of the Mike Neal "knee sprain" a few years ago. Goes from "he'll miss a few weeks" to "had a procedure done and hopefully will be ready for Week 1". Next up....another procedure that knocks him out for the first half of the season

Jordy Nelson underwent knee surgery Monday. Expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks but doctors expect him to be ready for opener.

oh sure, the Pack always brings guys back ahead of schedule 

A little more background on the injury:

 

Green Bay --- Another day, another injury to the Green Bay Packers' receiving corps. And this one could become a problem.

Starting wideout Jordy Nelson will miss the remaining of training camp due to a knee injury, coach Mike McCarthy said after practice Tuesday. McCarthy is hopeful Nelson will be ready for the season opener at San Francisco.

For Nelson, the coach said, it is a recurrence of an old injury. Nelson suffered a knee sprain Dec. 2 against the Minnesota Vikings and missed the rest of the game, but returned the following week for practice.

During the Packers' Super Bowl win against the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of the 2010 season, Nelson suffered an injured bursa sac. The bursa sac is fluid flilled and creates a cushion between bones and tendons. It does not require surgery.

 

Also at wide receiver, Randall Cobb dropped out of practice Tuesday with a biceps injury. He had a bag of ice over his shoulder, took it off at one point and ran sprints during one of the Packers' breaks. McCarthy didn't offer a timetable on Cobb.

 

Green Bay is also still without seventh-round picks Charles Johnson and Kevin Dorsey

WTF is up with this medical staff?  The off season seems like a great time for knee surgery on an existing injury.

How soon before Donald Driver rumors start swirling?

Doctors tried correcting nerve issue in Jordy Nelson’s knee that has bothered him since college. Knee flared up at beginning of camp.

Nerve issue for Jordy's knee? Either way, sounds like at worst he should only miss Week 1

 

I think they just did

You have a healthy James Jones, Finley  and crossing fingers Cobb as well. All having very good camps.

 

With Nelson out, I'm hoping MM limits those guys in PS just to ensure they are here and available in week 1. I'm not trying to sound paranoid but honestly, make guys like Boykin, Ross, etc play a lot of pre-season with Young and you keep these core guys along with as limited as you can in PS. It's not like they need mass Rep's.

 

Believe it or not, MM said in his PC today he believes this is a healthier group then where they were in last season's Camp at this same point.

Nelson is tough. If pain is the only thing standing in the way of him playing, he will play. If the doctor says no it's not safe or he will do more damage then he will sit out, but I guarantee Nelson will want to be out there. 

Seems like Nelson's surgery could have been done before now if it's something that's been bothering him off and on for awhile.  Maybe the bright side is he can't injury anything else if he's not practicing...knock on wood.

Yeah, what a bunch of BS.

 

Why didn't Jordy Nelson get the knee taken care of in the off season? Did the medical staff neglect to address this injury, or did Nelson not listen to advice?

Cobb and Green are listed as probable. Nelson's being held so he doesn't get hurt unnecessarily, just as you would do if he was healthy.

 

How about we stop the attention-whoring/drama parade and think rationally about this.

 

Also, P.S. It's football. People have been getting hurt since Day 1.

SMACKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO!!

Did Wilde walk past Nelson and Bulaga too?  Dude, stay away from the players.

Maybe we need to have those "Bellin Health" patches removed from the player's jerseys.  Has to be related to the injuries.

TT on Nelson today:

 

Jordy Nelson: "Yeah, I don’t think our’s is probably anymore than a lot of people. Fortunately with Jordy, his particular thing that we had go and fix is something that we have some experience with with some other guys here. So, we think we can predict about the way it’ll go, but you never know."

Bravo Shoeless....Possibly my favorite public figure of all time!

"How about we stop the attention-whoring/drama parade and think rationally about this."

 

 

I blame Packerboi for starting a thread entitled "Training Camp News and Notes". I didn't know it was supposed to be about the weather.

I was going to guess Rodney King.

 

Geez...you think you know a person...

That's funny!

Cleveland Browns RG Shawn Lauvuo carted off

Since the Browns need a guard and the Packers need a tackle, how about Barclay for Joe Thomas? 

Throw in Robert Ferguson and a 7th round pick and you might be on to something!

You're kidding!!! Other teams have injuries too?!?

 

Well, at least they don't have a fat head coach who is too stupid to tell everyone the exact diagnosis/recovery schedule in bullet point form.

 

He's not stupid for what he tells us. He knows he is telling the entire league as well.

 

We're stupid for believing what he says and being surprised when it turns out not to be the truth.

All head coaches are well versed in the "Vitto Corleone" rule "never tell anyone outside the family what you are thinking" 

Seems like TT does not pursue great doctors from other places to work here. I have heard he build the medical staff from the draft. He hires ungradauted medicine students and "build" them. This way he can keep the medical payroll low and can pay retirement to old and useless doctors in the current staff!!

 

@ Shoeless.

The problem with the way MM plays this type of coach speak is that he always vastly understates injuries. So at this point he is not really fooling other teams any more.

I don't disagree at all that MM can be maddeningly frustrating when it comes to deciphering his coach talk regarding injuries. But I don't think he does it on purpose either. I think the guy has tunnel vision when it comes to availability. 1 week, 2 weeks, Week to week. It's just blah, blah, blah to him. Are you available or aren't you? If you are, great, if not I don't think he spends much time concerning himself when you will be. He just waits for the doctors to drop off a healthy body at practice and it's back to work.  I really believe that's how he operates. He said it again after practice today, "the game of football stops for nobody".

"the game of football stops for nobody"

 

Precisely why some of those injured guys need to heal up quick and get on the practise field, especially those that reported hurt.

 

Tramon, Hayward, Neal, Johnson, Dorsey, Sherod etc etc etc

 

Cant make the club in the tub, granted Tramon and Hayward are pretty safe but still need the work. The others (not counting the obvious PUP/IR candidates like Worthy and Tretter) need to heal up and show what they can do or out the door they may go.

 

Sort of like how he purposely signed cheap free agents to keep the salary cap profits to himself, amIrite? #OccupyLambeau
