There was a post in another thread regarding Schnieder and the likelihood he returns to GB after Ted calls it a career.
He's young, but I think Elliot Wolf can keep the train moving down the tracks when TT hangs it up.
There's no reason to think McCarthy is hanging it up anytime soon. He'll only be 50 next month, has a couple of young kids with his (Green Bay) wife, so I can see him coaching there 6-8 more years.
Agree. MM states often that he has the best job in the world. Especially with his wife being from GB, I think he's here until he isn't wanted any longer.
After Aaron Rodgers and T.J. Lang were injured, the #Packers finished last night's game missing over 1/3 of their preferred starters.
More definitive scans today but initial tests showed small fracture in Aaron Rodgers' collarbone that could sideline him about three weeks.
@Adam Schefter
Aaron Rodgers Injury Update: Small Collarbone Fracture Suspected, Per Reports - Acme Packing Company
Lost in the 12 injury is Lang. What's his injury status?
He still sees two fingers, but on three hands.
I am hopeful on Lang because the docs checked him out and let him return to the game, but then took him out later with a concussion. I hope that means it was a mild one since he wasn't sidelined immediately.
Ah... didn't know it was a concussion to being with. Better than a knee I suppose.
Off the top of my head, here's the injury summary:
1) Bulaga - IR
2) Cobb - IR, but should be back
3) Finley - Unlikely to be back
4) Francois - IR
5) Matthews - missed about a month, hopefully back soon
6) Perry - about the same as Matthews
7) Tretter - unlikely to play this year
8) Worthy - not likely to play this year but based on last night, maybe they'd think about activating him if they think he could help
9) Sherrod - Hopefully can play in the next month
10) Mulumba - unknown
11) Lang - likely concussion hopefully back for Eagles
12) Rodgers ......... Ugggghhh. Hopefully just 3 weeks, but I am skeptical.
That sound about right from an injury standpoint? Feel free to add anything I have forgotten.
The Pack welcomed back Ryan Taylor, James Jones and Casey Hayward in the past couple weeks. Hopefully more will be coming back.
We will know about Sherrod by Wednesday. That the day that the Packers either have to activate him or put him on IR. Excuse the Packers must decide on Sherrod by Tuesday.

Do we know if we are getting anyone back for the Iggles game, Perry, Matthews, status of Lang's concussnessness?

I heard Wayne Larivee say this morning that 6 guys were hurt in yesterday's game and it's possible that all 6 miss this coming weekend's game. He didn't have anything definite though.
Off the top of my head I can think of 5 - Jolly, Dietrich-Smith, Barclay, Heyward, and Perry but can't remember a 6th guy going out. Let's hope those guys can play, but with the luck the Pack is having right now, I am not counting on it.
Edit: Oh yeah, Wallace would be the 6th guy. I almost forgot about him because in some ways, the Pack may have been better off that Tolzien took over.
Jolly returned after his injury. Don't know if that means he will play on Sunday.

I thought Perry returned as well. I could be wrong though. Unless he got hurt again after he returned. Which is possible.
The even worst thing is playing the last two games with backups who didint even practice with the first team.
Lookes in the first series that atleast MM had designed a game plan with Wallace inther, after the injury, again we had a backup (practice sqad guy) who havent practice with these guys.
the biggest question mark for Giants game is the D mora than the O.
@RapSheet <small class="time"></small>
Playoffs. RT @ChicagoBears: #Bears announce CB Charles Tillman suffered triceps injury Sunday, placed on injured reserve/to return.
Cutler also with a high ankle sprain. Guessing that keeps him out for awhile. Unfortunate for the Packers.
From MM presser:
(Wallace come back in an emergency) Yes, I think he could have. The discussion on the sideline was that he wouldn't be able to move.
Wouldn't be able to move much outside the pocket is what I heard McCarthy say. Hell, he couldn't move much before the groan.
Wallace didn't move out of the pocket in pressure. He ran backwards!
The new CBA. They are no longer allowed to do 2 practices in one day. They aren't allowed to tackle etc. Players are less conditioned to take the punishment of an NFL game
it was brought up in conversation recently, but maybe a contributing factor is these pro-turf or whatever they're called playing surfaces? rather than being plain old dirt and grass there is that mesh that's part of it. maybe it causes the feet to catch more firmly resulting in unnatural twisting in situations? who knows. the amount of injuries in any NFL game this year is reaching ridiculous proportions I gotta think.
Assuming Worthy and Richardson are taken off the PUP next Wednesday who goes to make room? Hayward and Boyd...?
I'd bet Hayward goes to IR. I believe Boyd is PS eligible, but would he clear waivers?
CMoun Chilli, by the time this Sunday's game is over I'm sure we'll have 2 or 3 more players to put on IR. I know it's not funny but neither is this season.
Good points all around. Boyd would be a stretch to clear waivers. Packers could lose 3 guys to IR Sunday.
Worthy and Richardson could collide in practice next week and end each other's season.
Carry on.....

Jermichael Finley underwent successful spinal fusion surgery yesterday in Pittsburgh, performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon.
Of course the Dr. Jermichael Finley selected to perform spinal fusion surgery is named Maroon.
Cartoons in the waiting room shouldn't factor into choosing a spinal fusion surgeon. One of those "hard rules" that should be followed.

Wow! He must have a REALLY bad yeast infection?!?!
