Update on Corey..
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the injury is believed to be an MCL sprain and that an MRI on Monday will provide further information about Linsley’s condition.
Right guard Lucas Patrick left later in the game with a toe injury. The Packers moved right tackle Billy Turner inside with Rick Wagner taking over at tackle.

As anticipated #Packers C Corey Linsley’s knee injury is not overly serious and definitely not season-ending, according to a source. He will probably be out a couple of weeks at the most.

Keep him out entire month of December -- Heal up Corey.
I want a thrashing of the Eagles, which of course means we'll see the Packer defense vs. the Jags return
I don't see a need to rush him back at all. The OL functions just as well, if not better, when he is out.
ARod may have a 'comfort level' with him, and if he wants him back ASAP, so be it. Otherwise, let him heal and be depth.
Let's hope the Seahawks rough them up tonight....
I'm an Eagles fan tonite
Me too.
It's nice that we get to catch a team on short rest after last two teams we faced were coming off long rest.
Eagles are not going to lay down for us .... their defense played with a ton of energy last night. Let's hope Patrick can play, Turner has had trouble anchoring against guys like Cox. Key on offense will be pass protection if they defend us like they did Seattle. Press man coverage will be hard to defend crossing routes, but have to have time for them to develop
hope that their d spilled the beans last night, have no beans left for us...man, offense looked real bad.
On paper the Packers should handle the Eagles pretty well but I worry about this one a lot. It just feels like Jags version 2 and the Eagles still have a good chance at their division so they are going to be playing hard.
Wentz was terrible last night. So bad that Hurts could get the starting gig this week. Keep in mind they played the Seahags who have the worst passing D in the NFL. Despite that, the Eagles managed 9 points and only added a garbage TD at the end of the game.
This should look like the Bears game. If the Packers build an early lead, the game is over.
Yes, the Eagles have a very good defensive front. But their QB situation rivals Tribisky and co. Which is saying a lot.
I worry about every game, we play. There always seems to be a weak spot that could be exploited by an opposing QB. This year, it seems to be our run defense. Maybe our soft coverage pass defense that leaves big areas for a QB and a receiver to exploit, on any given play. If Rodgers doesn't have a good day, this may be a close game. I think that Wentz, and company, will not have a great day, due to our DL creating havoc, up front. I think our CBs will create turnovers, as well. GO PACK, GO!!!
Wentz and the Eagles gave the Pack their only loss at Lambeau in 2019 scoring 34 points. They’re not as good as last year, but I expect the Eagles to play more confidently knowing they had success against us at Lambeau just 1 year ago.
Eagles always seem to play the Packers tough and you know that cheap shot wanker (Jim Schwartz) will have his guys ready to play, I mean, hit people late.

That right there worries me. Why? the game I think is the game of the week and it always seems like someone on the other team has the game of their lives against the Packers in the spot light. Like I said a few weeks ago I still am not over Brad Hoover and that has been like 15 years.
When you look at the Eagles this year on paper they aren’t as bad as their record would indicate. Defensively, they generate a decent pass rush and get sacks. Their issue is they allow a lot of rush yardage and have not generated a lot of turnovers. Sound familiar?
The Eagles are -10 in turnover ratio for third quarter worst in the league. Look at the bottom third of that list BTW. Mostly bad teams.

Well, lets hope the Angry Bald guy has a plan to help raise that count for Wentz.
Yeah, we will need to feast on him....

I hope he can teach these fools how to tackle.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a different QB like Hurts or someone else.
In either case, tackling has to improve.
Seems to confirm Tavon Austin is inbound.
@BillHuberSI: The #Packers are releasing WR Darrius Shepherd, according to a source.
Certainly the most expendable player.
I feel a bad moon a rising.
If nothing else Austin is a pretty good return guy. He’s had health issues and has been inconsistent throughout his career but has elite speed and quickness. Given the injury status of Ervin I would think he slides into that role and could have a pretty decent impact.
Fletcher Cox has given us a lot of trouble in the past. I hope they gameplan him into obscurity.

Turn up your volume. Love the story on Tavon and how these players just don't forget shit..

Carson Wentz: 48 Turnover-Worthy Plays since 2019

Good week to see if the turnovers continue to flow.
Thus far, he looks like a really good day 3 find.
LaFleur on how #Packers rookie OL Jon Runyan Jr. has played in spot snaps: "I think you find out a lot about guys when you get into the heat of the battle. Certainly, this game is not too big for him." He credits growing up with NFL veteran as a dad and experience at Michigan.

Finally, the red wave we were all promised!
In reference to the Tavon Austin 98 yard return, do yourself a favor and google the video. He waves everyone off then scoops it up and goes 98. Can’t believe I don’t remember it. Incredible
