ATL ravaged by injuries
DE Kroy Biermann was placed on IR
LB Sean Weatherspoon was placed on IR/Designated to return
and now, RB Steven Jackson is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with his thigh injury
TT opting to draft a young RB than rely on an aging one for a reason
When there was talk about grabbing SJ and those rumors were spinning that we were about to sign him when TT in fact wasn't even nearly close to, that was my and some others concern with Jackson.
Injuries. Dude is very talented but has so much wear on him. Same with Reggie Bush. Another good player...IF healthy.
I'll still take Lacy.
Broncos all pro LT Ryan Clady out for season today.
Called BS when the initial reports were "out for a few weeks with a "Lisfranc sprain."
That typically is not a sprain, and is usually season ending IIRC...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisfranc_injury
[49ers] Ray McDonald's injury is listed as (ankle, ankle). That's because he has two ankles, both sprained. (Tho one more severely than the other).
I can't remember ever seeing an injury report like that one.
49ers - Did not practice: TE Vernon Davis (hamstring)
He must have skipped out the day they did all their stretching.

How about the pirate injury?
Eye, eye.
Clay Matthews' annual hamstring injury came earlier this year than I was expecting. I wonder what it is about him that makes him so susceptible to that injury. Modern sports medicine has given us a blueprint on how to avoid those. It involves finding a balance between the strength and flexibility of the primary mover (the hamstring) and its antagonistic muscle (Quad). I'm sure the Packer training staff must know these techniques, but Matthews has the same injury every year.
.....but Matthews has the same injury every year.
Which is why he may have the same injury every year. Chronic condition, some people are just susceptible to certain injuries.
^ ^ ^ ^
And I'm saying that he's susceptible to that injury because those muscles are not balanced as far as strength and flexibility goes.
google'd "hamstring removal specialist" and didn't find anything official. might have to go underground to solve this problem..
How bad is Starks injury? A tear, pull, strain?
swine hamstrings available on the chinese black market.

dismemberment
O.K....seriously. What are they saying about Starks injury? Anyone?

Yuck.
They taste worse than baby seal.

not gonna know anything about injuries until Monday at the earliest.
Thank you! I would think if it's a torn ACL or similar they would know now so maybe no news is good news. Otherwise, we might be bringing in Bennie Wells, Cedric Benson or ?
Lacy will be the starter after the bye week regardless if Starks is healthy or not. Franklin deserves a lot of looks too going forward. He's a quick little dude.
Still need depth which we should know all too well. When Franklin went out for some plays today with an injury we were down to -0- running backs.
No doubt... but after the bye we will have Lacy, Franklin and Coon for sure. Probably Starks as well. Cobb plays a little RB too in sub packages.... we're good there I believe.

True, what was I thinking? Time for MM to get the players into yoga classes. Maybe a hot female teacher would help motivate them. Or, maybe MM in class too. I'm sure the players wouldn't miss that.

It took forever to find out about Bulaga. IIRC, it took two days. Still, it was a good sign that Starks stayed on the sideline.
This is the problem I have in clinic all the time, runners come in with chronic tendonitis issues and you ask them to rest and the minute they feel "ok" right back they go and the cycle repeats itself.
Personally, looking big picture smart to sit Clay and STarks in the 2nd half with the bye, smart to not rush Lacey, Hayward or Burnett. Big question is Finley he really got his bell rung.
James Starks struck me as really disappointed by his exit. Said he has no idea severity of injury. Going to pray on it, he said.
Let's hope he does a Reggie...
Unless I am mistaken ,which is often, we should be getting healthier after the bye. Burnett and Hayward should be back. Lacy and Funely back from concussions, Matthews, who else?
This team will lose 2 more games all year and finish 12-4
The Bears lost Henry Melton for the season to an ACL tear.
Several season ending injuries across the league yesterday, not just Melton. Actually, Packers lucked out in that their injuries lately are not near as serious, i.e as in season ending.
Thought I read Starks was a knee "sprain", more info to come.
On Packers radio after the game Tauscher said the Pack does indeed include yoga in the training room, at least once a week.
Henry will be pleased.

once a week isn't a very practical application of yoga. a minimum of 3 times a week and you might get true benefit, and daily would seem even more right.

They should be doing it in the huddle!
We've had a lot of injuries but I don't think any are stripper related. Apparently, Sweet Pea is not too sweet.
Knee, ankle, concussions, toes, head, elbow are all type of injuries you have no control over. Stuff happens in the game. However it seems that the Packers have more Hamstring problems than all other teams combined. Time to bring Benny Hinn in because nothing else seems to work.
I thought the Bengal D-Back who hit Finley should have been tossed. Looked like a forearm to helme. Finley was in a defenseless position. I'd expect fine
I'm curious how Fin returns, he got his bell rung hard. Not sure if he was tentative or still recovering last year, but he has been impressive this years. The noggin is a fragile thing, and he demonstrated that before he saw stars.
I read some post-game blurb from a player who said Finley seemed fine on the sideline compared to Lacy after his hit. But maybe there isn't as big a difference between concussed Finley and non-concussed Finley.
