Bulaga and House only two not practicing today.
Per Demovsky, Murphy goes on injured reserve with foot injury. That means three tackles (Murphy, Spriggs, Braclay) are on IR..........
Nick Perry with his new club.
Do the Packers issue those Bellin Health stickers as advertising or are they used for easy admission to the clinic/hospital?
Yeah...If I was Bellin Health I would think twice about wanting to be associated with the Packers.
Haven't we reached the point that Nick should just permanently play with a club? He's probably taken more NFL snaps with a club than without.
And don't you get a club that looks like The Hulks hand and paint it green? Nick should be better at this by now.
ok...so is da new fellow it? just Bak on da left IF recovered?

It will be interesting to see later whether Murphy's injury was really a season ender, whether he was going to be out 2-3 weeks and then just decided they needed the roster spot, or if they'd seen enough to know he wasn't going to be a capable backup this year and decided to try someone else and let Murphy get a redshirt year.
First choice backup (and starter in all three games so far this season) at both tackle positions... you just don't toss a guy like that on IR unless he's missing some serious time. My guess is Murphy's injury would've kept him at least through early November if not longer.
He apparently played most of the fourth quarter and OT with the injury. Gave it his all under difficult circumstances but is likely much better suited for the right side. Like what he offers for where the Packers picked him.
#Packers RT Kyle Murphy, placed on IR today, just rolled through the locker room on a scooter, left foot in a walking boot.

Are you sure you didn't mean Spriggs in this scenario. I wish their situations weren't so easily confused at this point.

New club same as the old club. That is a stock photo at this point.

I wish this image didn't crack me up.
With the new rule allowing the return of 2 IR players, they could both be back for the playoff run, fortunately the Packers will have a wealth of players to choose from.
Does anyone have a viable explanation why we go through this injury shiiit each and every year? Luck? Training? Water in Don Hudson Center that causes bones to go soft? Demons? Voodoo dolls? Stefano from Days of our Lives?
I posted this earlier in the thread:
This article says that last year we were the 15th healthiest team in the league, & the year before we were the 9th.
Did you read the article?
It's useless statistics. "oh gee we figured out there are less minor injuries reported" is the conclusion.
I would like to see a breakdown of starters games lost per team. If a backup becomes a starter and then is lost, that should aggregate. You're missing the point of significant injuries and that article doesn't address it.
That article is junk and the page/font is awful. Nice try pointing out useless information again.
If Dom missed 5 games because a scalp weave went south does GB get credit for games missed by Daniels? Is the formula different if it's Fackrell?
There are other sites with other ranking formulas, some you need a subscription to view, one ranks us last season as 18th "most negatively effected by injuries", etc. The point is that EVERY team has injuries. The Raven had something like 18 players either on IR or put for their game last week. To think that we consistently have more injuries than anyone else (and thus something is wrong with our training staff, which some have posted in the past) is just absurd.

And they lost 44-7 to the Jaguars. We may not have MORE injuries than other teams, but I think the combination of key players that have missed time has been making success more difficult. If we lost 15 depth players, but all 24 starters remained healthy them I would agree injuries aren't an excuse. But when you're QB has been sacked more than any other QB in the league because your top 3 Tackles are all out then you are truly seeing injuries impact games. Losing half a dozen of our best players for a game makes a big difference.
Not saying that it does not make a big difference & makes our win vs. Bengals more impressive than the casual fan would think. Just pointing out that we are not alone on the injury front. Vikings last season lost pretty much their entire offensive line and played a huge part in us winning the North.
Also look at Tampa Bay: They went in to the bird killer down five defensive starters and lost a sixth, Gerald McCoy, fairly early in the game. Does that make Case Keenum a good QB? Vinny Testaverde could have come off the street and picked that group apart.
Dalvin Cook is helping Keenum more than anything. You don't need much at Q when you have a good running game. We're about to see an extreme example of that tomorrow night vs. CHI.
