Injuries

Will Randy Moss or Chastin West or Tori Gurley or Terrell Owens make an appearance in Green Bay? 

 

--------

I thought T.O. signed with the Bills this past week?

 

I'd rather see Tyrone Walker or Myles White activated.  they would make more than just a temporary contribution.

@RapSheet (Ian Rapoport): Packers WR Randall Cobb (knee) will have an MRI tomorrow morning, source says. But early indications are that it may not be a major injury

 

fingers f-ing crossed. 

 

Rapoport must've talked to MM to get that nugget. 

That song and dance is getting old. I'll believe it isn't a major injury when he's back on the field, and the calendar still says 2013.

i'm with you Fond Du. not getting my hopes up. 

Willing to bet that Jones is going to be back (eventually...), but Cobb's injury looked really bad. I'd be stunned if he plays again this year.

Per @JayGlazer on The OT, neither injury suffered by the Packers' WRs today (James Jones, Randall Cobb) is expected to be a season-ender.

 

That's the good news. Bad news is who knows how long either will be out. I assume Cobb's will be the dreaded "multipe weeks" which in MM speak means it can range anywhere from 2-10 weeks

Just knowing he'll be back at some point would be huge. Even if he goes on temporary IR, I'll be happy.

I think these reports are kind of like "The telephone game."

 

First comment was, "It may not be season-ending."

 

Second was, "It may be a few weeks."

 

Wait for enough layers and Cobb will be returning punts in practice Tuesday.

Cobb is already rehabbing...

 

 

Maybe I'm grasping at straws here, but what I found encouraging about the Cobb injury was that immediately afterward, he was kneeling on that knee - and he seemed to be grasping at the top of his lower leg than the knee itself. I know, it's not much, but when I was watching the way he reacted after the injury, I was a little more optimistic than I was when I first saw the hit. I'm hoping for a major bruise just above the top of the shin pad.

 

Y'all may now ridicule me at will. I'll just stand here and smile patiently.

He was Tebowing a cure.

Well, if he actually was kneeling on the injured knee, that is a great sign.

Salmon Dave, I had the same reaction. The MRI will tell us all tomorrow.

Yeah, he was up on all fours, with his weight distributed between both hands and both knees, and kind of rocking back and forth a bit. My first thought was that if his knee is letting him get away with that, it must all be in one piece.'

 

He needs to stay away from soup for the next few days, though. That will be the key to our season.

Early reports on Cobb's knee are "good," a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

"He'll be OK," the source said.

"OK" like in "Not dead" or "OK" in like "We'll fit him with a fine prosthetic"?

I'm a little skeptical until the MRI results come in, but it is starting to sound like this is not a season ender.

IR to return so we can sign a WR in the meantime?

I can't help but think all of these are coming from one common source.

The "good" thing about the Cobb hit is that his knee was not completely planted at impact.

 

Favre's brother? Bus cook?!?!

Has Cobb got a sister?

Is there a site that keeps track of the "man games" that are missed because of injuries? I'm curious about how the Pack compares to other teams around the league as far as injuries go.

Has there been any report on Perry's injury?

The word is "snippet".

Doubt TT would make a mid-season trade, but I think Cleveland was shopping Josh Gordon.  Might take a third round draft pick though and we all know TT doesn't like to give up any picks. 

 

Don't recall a report, but he returned to the game.

 

 

He seemed fine after the game. Was able to come back and finish the game. RT @Justin_Malaise: what is status of Perry?

In case anyone missed it, there will be a parade celebrating the return to the practice field for Sherrod this week.

I am on board with a 3rd rounder for Gordon.  This kid has some baggage, but can be a difference maker.

Once again, who is going to get cut or IR'd?

Hakeem Nicks, another possibility...

I'll stand with the standard:  in TT I trust.

? Maybe Michael Hill?  I think Starks is almost back.

I know is old news, but when did Charles Johnson get plucked off the practice squad, what a buss kill, liked the kid.

They let Cobb back on the sideline so it can't be too awful bad. He was using crutches, but seemed able to put a little weight on his bad leg.

 

My guess is that he has a bad bruise. He had that initial reaction like it was broken, immediately grabbing it with a lot of pain, but didn't seem to be in too much pain on the sidelines. I think he and Jones will both be back for the Chicago game on November 4th. 

I'd be cool with a 5th round pick for the rest of the year with Nicks, regardless of what the MRI's tell us today.  I have a feeling the price will be higher and I can't see Ted going with a 4th.
