Injuries

Steven Jackson not expected back until week 7 because GB considered signing him.

GB injury bug is really powerful.

lol good one Chili.

 

Btw on Starks:

 

Starks said he was waiting for test results but believes he avoided a serious injury.

“A little sore,” he said Monday, “but I’m going to be fine.”

If all three halfbacks are healthy, the Packers could have their deepest backfield combination in Mike McCarthy’s eight years as the head coach.

 

Starks rushed for 132 yards in Week 2 and had 55 yards on 14 carries in the first half against the Bengals. Franklin gave them their first game with consecutive 100-yard backs since Weeks 16-17 of the 2007 season. Lacy, who began the season as the starter, was off to a good start before his concussion.

“We hope all three of them are healthy and that will give us some good options, whichever way we decide to go,” Packers offensive coordinator Tom Clements said.

I hope this team gets healthy over the bye. Cause we should be pretty damn good. 

CMIII is obviously the #1 priority (and he sounded fine from his post game comments).

 

Then IMHO these would be my next most important:

 

1.) Burnett

2.) Finley

3.) Hayward

4.) Lacy

5.) Starks

6.) Kuhn

 

  Good one Dude!

Worth noting that Chris Banjo played 54 of 56 defensive snaps vs. Bengals. Played well from what I could tell too. 

 

Gotta think he'll continue to get looks even when Burnett returns.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's not Matthews offseason workouts that are causing his constant issues. I'm not an expert on this kind of thing, but if he's conditioning a certain way for months and then he heads to training camp and they condition differently then to me it makes sense that there could be some issues. Not saying one or other other is doing something radically different, but who knows what each workout is emphasizing or what they're targeting. Neither program may not be doing anything wrong, but maybe they're not on the same page. Just a thought. It just seems weird that they have so many hamstring injuries. The S&C staff may be running a perfectly fine program , but maybe they're not on the same page with the players as to what they should be doing when they're not in GB. Again just a thought.

I don't think so... IMO once you severely pull a muscle, it never fully heals and is prone to pulls and strains in the future.

 

I'm not a Dr, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn, but I have severely pulled a quad playing beer league softball.  In all seriousness, 5 years latet it still bothers me when I squat or dead lift.. Need to ease it in.

You have to stay at an Holiday Inn Express Dude!

Could have stopped at  "I'm not an expert on this kind of thing."

 

 

 

New from JS: Packers mystified by run of hamstring injuries http://t.co/Jl2bN2DaZJ

— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) September 24, 2013

As a certified trainer who has trained football players like J.J. Watt at his gym, NX Level in Waukesha, Arnett said that strengthening the hamstring to fight injury is too simplistic. He said that hamstring injuries in general — and nothing specific to Matthews or anyone else with whom Arnett has not worked — are a problem of hip alignment.

 

"Strengthening your hamstrings is important, but when your hips are not aligned you never really work them," said Arnett. "Instead you work your lower back. So you may not exactly have weak hamstrings, they are just constantly fatigued from not getting help from other musculature.

 

"Prevention of hamstring issues starts with first and foremost hip mobility.... When the hips sit at an anterior tilt, sloping downwards, it pre-stretches the hamstring, leaving very little room for extension when sprinting.... So when your hips are sloped forward, thus pre-stretching the hamstring, you have limited room, and when you are basically over-stretched, the hamstring will pull to prevent a tear."

What do you mean? The NFL has the best drug policy of all of the major sports?

 

I tried but I am not as good as you.

Her hips be the truth, brother.

Who's Nate Burleson?

Lion's number 2 receiver trying to save his pizza from sliding off the seat.

Yeah, we can't be expected to remember players of his limited calibur.

 Anyone wanna bet he was really "texting" while driving and the whole pizza story is a cover.

Played center for Princeton, right?

Any good GM knows you can't count on players from the Ivy league.

S&C coach was driving.

Latest on Lions WR Nate Burleson: Surgery will be tomorrow. Source says docs are "cautiously optimistic''. Thats why not going on IR yet

Packers injueies taketh away and Packers injuries giveth:

 

FOUND ON INTERNET!

I find it very laughable that  most people who watch this will not admit what is right in front of their face....or at acknowledge the possibility.

trying so hard to find the secret message in "Injury-plagued Cardinals sign LB So'oto"

 

Sometimes I feel like you are all writing in yellow text.
