Injuries

Oh, ok... they don't need help there - do they?

#Packers OLB coach Kevin Greene jokingly said there were shoulder pads and a helmet waiting for him today. Only Mulumba & Palmer healthy.

Must mean James Jones is out. RT @BWilliamsonESPN: #49ers According to source WR Chris Harper claimed by #Packers

This one's interesting. 4th round pick by Seattle in 2013 draft. Seattle released him on final cut. SF snatched him up then waived him yesterday apparently trying to free up space due to DL injuries.

6'1" 230lb guy. 4.5 40....

Are J. Jones and Neal out for this game or is it a game time decision?

They'll probably suit up as the Packers may have trouble filling an active squad.

you can pretty much know MM comments regarding injuries. On Sundays after they happen, his press conference will say they have to do more test and will know more on Monday.

Mondays press conference say we still don't know the extend and won't know until Wednesday.

Wednesdays press conference wont say what the injury is but is hopefull the player gets to practice on Thursday.

Thursday he says that he is hopeful the player gets to participate in practice on Friday.

On Friday He says there is still 48 hours till the game and won't know until game time.

When MM is thru with coaching the guy could probably run for National Office.

"When MM is thru with coaching the guy could probably run for National Office."

Except MM wouldn't shut down the NFL.

As frustrating as this is, one bright side is that we were able to re-sign Tyrone walker to the practice squad.  I still think this guy could be special.

Also looking at the new WR we signed (and I'm not going to be unrealistic and expect miracles for his first game), scouts compared him to Sterling Sharpe!   That's not bad company!

Lots of bad injuries today. 

Looks like Rams QB Bradford will be out for the year with a torn ACL.

Texans LB Brian Cushing out for the year with a torn LCL.

Bengals CB Leon Hall out for the year with a ruptured achilles.

And word on Jay Cutler isn't looking good so far. He probably won't be back for the Packers game either way.

Sounds like Reggie Wayne tore his ACL last night.

Wayne didn't even get hit. Just stuck his foot in the turf trying to come back for the ball and you could see the knee wobble... 

I'd like to see the injury totals from this year when it's all said and done. Gotta be some kind of record for season-enders like ACLs, etc.

With all these injuries going on, the Packers should have a fan contest titled "Win a chance to play for the Green Bay Packers!". 

Briggs out 4 to 6 weeks.

He was playing some of his best football for the BoBs.

I know financially it would not please the owners but may need to go to a 12 game season - but stretched out to where teams play once every two weeks to try to get some guys back and healthy.

So Briggs won't be playing vs GB and who knows if Cutler will

Tillman left the game yesterday as well

We still have a few games, and I'm sure some more major injuries before we get to the Bores game.  

Muscle tear in groin for Cutler. Out at least 4 weeks

All these QB injuries and no calls to poor Timmy.

Queens fans are speculating what they can get for Ponder in a trade now.

What a vag... 

Clearly, the S & T staff in Chicago has some serious questions to answer.

Bears just announced QB Jay Cutler will be out at least 4 weeks with torn groin muscle and LB Lance Briggs will be out 6 weeks with a small fracture in a shoulder. Obviously, neither will play against the Packers in 2 weeks.

So, gone from the Packers/Bears game in 2 weeks; Cobb, Matthews, Perry, Finley (likely), Cutler, Briggs, Melton...

Matthews has already been gone a month as is.  We should get Jones X 2 back for this week's action.  Hopefully Perry will be back for the Chi game.

maybe the head coaches can play a game of rock-paper scissors to decide who wins the game. Or Chicago can just forfeit....League should reduce the number of games during the season and play a double elimination tournment for the playoffs. The injuries over the past few years have been the worse of all time and I don't see anything that can reduce it other than going to a 7 on 7 contest....

In the future we will be watching 11 players from each team play a game of Madden football.  And instead of testing for steroids they will be monitoring level of cheeto intake.

Packer players will suffer rash of thumb injuries. Still lead league is Madden Games missed.

Wonder if the league will consider expanding the rosters even more.

They should just get rid of the inactive list. Seeing stuff like OL come in to play DL is just awful, especially when there always seems to be at least 1-2 inactives who play the depleted position. 45 doesn't cut the mustard these days.

It wouln't have mattered with the Packers this week anyway.  None of the inactives were healthy enough to play.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Ryan Broyles is out for the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles suffered against the Dallas Cowboys and will have surgery Tuesday.

 

Broyles is out for the third consecutive season with a major injury.

The former second-round draft pick from Oklahoma tore his left anterior cruciate ligament as a senior for the Sooner. He tore his right anterior cruciate ligament last year as a rookie.

 

Broyles caught eight passes for 85 yards this season.

 

"If anybody can come back from it, he can," Lions coach Jim Schwartz told reporters.

Free-agent RB Beanie Wells (Achilles') tore his Achilles' in his recent workout with the Baltimore Ravens.

Seahawks WR Sidney Rice out for the season with a torn ACL

http://profootballtalk.nbcspor...ey-rice-to-torn-acl/

Here is  story on Rice's injury

This year as in most year who win it all comes down to the best team standing.

And Harvin's hip "flared up" on him again. Carroll not committing to when he can practice. Have to wonder even when he's back how long before the next ailment/pain/weepy vagina he'll have next.

It's too bad about Sydney Rice's ACL. Should have been Tate.

No need to start a new thread for this. But he's injured and this is pretty good.

And this is when TT really shines.  Draft and develop at it's greatest. Nobody else drafts like  TT and develops like MM. 

There was a post in another thread regarding Schnieder and the likelihood he returns to GB after Ted calls it a career.

I'm not sure I'm ok with that until we see how he deals with his roster in 2015 after everyone in Seattle needs to be paid and what the net roster fallout is. What's his long term plan? Seattle has a great 2 year window but I'd like to see how he navigates the cap when Wilson, Sherman, Browner, Thomas, Wagner, Irvin, Lynch, Tate, Avril, Clemmons, Carpenter, Turbin contracts are up for negotiation.

What's the plan? I know GB will contend in 2016. I'm not sure if Seattle will.

I also know this. I'm going to miss Ted and Mike when they're time together comes to an end. They work well together. One guy has a team that scouts and selects them and the other builds a staff to develop them. They think alike. Let's develop our guy's our way. No knee jerk reactions from either of them. And it will be a long time before we see two guy's that understand injuries will eff you up if you don't plan for them and coach kids up to be prepared to step in because of them.

Yep, Ted and Mike are perfect for each other. I hope they win at least one more Lombardi together. They've earned it as far as I'm concerned. 

It sure gets easier when your QB on a title contender is making $20 million less than AR this year.  These 'elite' teams out west will both come back to earth when it's time to pay Wilson and Kaepernick.  That'll shave about 4 or 5 good players off their roster pretty much every year after that.  

The Vikings must be relieved they don't have to deal with that problem.
