Driver aggravated injury

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnor...lv-practice-report-v

Receiver Donald Driver (quadriceps) was held out of team drills, but McCarthy said: "He’s fine. He wants to practice and all that, but I’m not taking any chances with him. I'll probably hold him out tomorrow, as well." Driver missed a game earlier this season because of a quadriceps ailment, but it seems likely he will play Sunday.

doesn't seem that big of a deal.

Not too worried. You could probably run Driver through a wood chipper and he'd still be on the field Sunday.

Sounds o.k. and whoever wrote that was maybe just guessing on the aggravated an injury part. O.K., sorry to post this. Disregard, I guess. Just a little jumpy if I hear any negative news.

Driver will be on the field Sunday. He could have a broken ankle, and he'd be on the field hopping around on one leg, bank on it. No injury short of paralysis is keeping him from playing in the Super Bowl.

Nah, don't worry about it, Packy. I don't think there's any doubt that DD indeed did aggravate his injury, and the team puts their best spin on it.
There's also no doubt (in my mind, anyway) that DD is one of the toughest players ever, and, as Herschel said, it'll take a lot more than that to keep him out of this game.
FWIW, we have plenty of guys who have played hurt all year; Collins, Woodson, and Driver, among others. But, they are pro to the max and know how to prepare themselves.

If MM said "he's fine" he might actually be dead!

Great, there goes our chance at winning

The notable news from Packers’ second day of practice for Super Bowl XLV was wideout Donald Driver sitting out team drills after tweaking a quadriceps injury the previous day. Coach Mike McCarthy said the move was precautionary.

DD's fine. The adrenaline boost alone in playing in his 1st SB will be so off the charts hig leg could be coming off and I bet he'd play.

MM has always been ultra cautious with even an hint of a twinge. Im sure that's the case here.

Donald Driver ain't no Jay Cutler.

Precautionary, this is their freaking 24th game for God's sake. They know everything they need to know. Just don't want a fluke injury during practice.

Paging Mr. Swain, paging Mr. Swain... be ready to play.

Hopefully, DD's "tweak" is not serious. That would put a dent in our game, especially going five-wide. Swain would be there, but who could step up just in case? Anyone on the PS?

i dont think we are going 5 wide much. 4 wide yes, rodgers needs the blocker to direct to one side.

still a little disconcerting...no?

Not as disconcerting as having your starting center and starting defensive lineman out and your superstar safety gimped.

Man we should win this!

Driver won't "Jay-it".

I am superstitious about making predictions and such. But I am confident that Donald Driver will play an important role in Sunday's game.

Driver just needs to want to be healthier than a guy like Pouncey does. If Ted gives him the knowledge to be healthy, he will.

But but I heard Jay took drugs and wanted to play...err nevermind point taken.

Raji can be the fifth WR in 5-WR sets.

Jinx'd. I didn't win his Super Bowl give-away.

James Harrison. He should be doubled, where ever he is at on the field unless Clifton is going to neutralize him one on one. Rodgers needs to keep an eye on Woodall who will most likely be coming from Bulaga's side. Use B-Jax to help out Bulaga.

3 wides, 1 TE & B-Jax. Obviously this is just one play, but I can see Rodgers getting some time to throw then its a matter of the WR's and/or TE doing their job and beating their guy(s) plus CATCHING THE BALL!! We can't afford a bunch of drops from James Jones or Quarless if Rodgers goes to them.
