Injuries

Lovely.

Why is there a piece of toast on his thigh?

 

Beef would hit that.

yeast... bread... aw hell never mind.  

I'm just thankful that Green Bay has managed to stay healthy all year.

 this was good to read via Wilde:

CB Micah Hyde on his groin injury: "Nothing major at all. I'll be back out there tomorrow."

Lots of comparison discussions about injuries in 2010 (SB year) and now. But in 2010 players went to IR and the staff was able to replace them with players, who actually could play in the games. In 2013 only 4 (5 if you include Cobb) players have gone to IR, but the number of guys on the 53 who have missed games is a long list.

Isn't Dujuan Harris on IR as well? And Bulaga.

What game did TJ Lang miss?

He got concussed against the Bears, but I don't think he's missed a full game.

Next season the Pack should begin the season by starting all their back ups. Then when they lose players to injuries they are replaced with the starters. We finally finish the season with all our best talent playing together!

yes, Harris and Bulaga - they didn't show on the search I did, maybe because they went to IR before the season? I thought Lang missed a game but Brak is right.

 

Point remains, lots of active guys missing lots of time.

 

 

The 2010 list looks longer than it is because half of the name takes up two lines.  Just a graphic thing.

However, 2010 didn't have the new injury with possibility of return policy.  Once you were injured significantly in 2010, you could not come back.  Deceiving comparison.

Except only one player can have that designation (this year Cobb). So most who went on IR stayed there.

Are the Packers a team in favor of expanding rosters more than other teams?  Having more players show up on the missing game list would support argument to expand.  Expansion of rosters is more money to players which some teams are against.  But are some teams more dependent on talent being discarded than others.  Is that part of the leagues parity plan?  The Packers have no problem spending more on FA and PS players.  Being able to horde and develop would be an advantage I can see Uncle Ted embracing. 

 

50 years and we still do not know who had the President killed or where they taped the moon landing.

Whatever the lists contain and compare, the thing that strikes me is this year there has been a total of at least 10 starters missing games due to injury, and at least half of them have been for multiple games. That's pretty significant no matter how you slice it.

There's 3 more starters on IR. Not as dramatic as 2010, but coupled with the games missed by starters, the comparisons look closer.

And while they weren't included in either list, and they weren't necessarily starters, I think we have to include the guys on PUP, most notably Worthy. Tretter and Richardson weren't a given, but Worthy should certainly count as 'games missed'.

 

Any word on whether or not Arod plays at Detroit?

I'm betting not... ATL is the game I think.

ATL game would be 34 days, nearly 5 weeks.

 

Yeah, I agree. He won't be back before ATL, if then. 

I think this is the week that AR has a serious "risk evaluation" with the medical staff, sees what they could fit him with that could give extra protection to the area, etc. & then makes a determination. 

What's the deal with Lacy?  Heard something about asthma, is it a life long condition or something new?

I think it's all the corn dust being blown into WI from Iowa. That stuff is hell on your lungs.

He said he has had it since he was a kid. Cold weather makes it worse he says.

Guys, what are Shields and Barclay's injuries?. Those have been devastating losses.

 

Shields was our best cover corner and now we're stuck with Newturd.

Packers injuries

 

Shields is a hammy

Barlcay is a knee

 

 

Time to put the whammy on the hammy....

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, H5

Rookie RB Jonathan Franklin has been put on IR to make room for LB Victor Aiyewa who was signed off of the practice squad.  That must have been some concussion.

■ McCarthy confirmed rookie running back Johnathan Franklin was placed on injured reserve because of a neck injury and not a concussion.

 

He sustained both on the opening kickoff against the Vikings last Sunday.

 

Franklin’s rookie contract had a split-salary clause, meaning his weekly compensation for the final month of the season will be reduced from $23,823.53 to $16,941.18 based a prorated base reduction from $405,000 to $288,000. -Green Bay Press Gazette

 

Franklin, in the locker room after the game, said he did NOT have a neck injury.

 

 

In the locker room, #Packers RB Johnathan Franklin said his neck isn't an issue. Said it was only a concussion.

It should be a league rule saying that a defender can not tackle a player by his penis. #NFL the most painful thing ever! #NFL

Blow to the head?  VD out with a penis?

No sympathy, wear a cup!

"VD?  He's got a dick."

          -Mike McCarthy disclosing injuries to the press

Better than the dick having VD. 

The pussification of football continues.  Now even the kielbasa tug may become taboo.

 

What next?
