Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga out indefinitely with torn MCL
Happy Friday!
Different year, same old bullshit.
Hopefully he'll be back after the bye week. Although with our trainers you really need to take the estimated 7-8 weeks and double it.
I think this is more on the Packers drafting than on medical staff. If a guy is injury prone and has weak bones/ligaments/tendons, well, there's not a whole lot the medical staff can do. Bulaga is just an injury prone guy.
I think Bulaga only missed 3 games in his college career, and that was due to a thyroid issue.Quote:

This is Bulaga's final year on his contract. Tape him up and stick him back on the field.
If he doesn't show us anything, he may be gone. He may be gone even if he does show us something.

Packers OT Bryan Bulaga's sprained MCL - (version of tear) - is not considered serious and he "should not miss much time," per source.
Knee sprain would be a lot better than a tear, please please. If any team is due some good injury news its the Packers.
what happened to the days when all o-linemen wore braces on both knees and just played.
why is a guy who's coming off a serious season ending knee injury NOT wearing a knee brace to at least prevent further injuries?
i swear i'm getting to the point where if i was running the team every single player would be wearing knee braces and giant bubble helmets
A very good question indeed. College O-linemen all wear knee braces now. It must be a macho thing, knee braces don't go with tatsQuote:

hard to really tell, but if he was wearing anything it was maybe a sleeve under his socks and pants, not a decent braceQuote:

There's clearly a brace there.

Coach Mike McCarthy on Friday wouldn't rule out the possibility that Bulaga could face the Jets. The players are off this weekend and return Monday with their next practice scheduled for Wednesday.
"Right now we have a little bit of a gap between how Bryan feels and how the medical department feels about him, which is normal," McCarthy said. "I think really Wednesday's practice will probably give us a better indication. I know Bryan would like to try to go on Wednesday, but we have to continue to see how his knee reacts between now and then.
"It's not a major injury. We're relieved by that. So I really don't have a timeline for you."
Sounds like the Packers may have dodged a Sherrod-coated bullet.
i'm thinking he was wearing something like thisQuote:

I gotcha, but in the picture it looks like he's wearing something closer to the second one. You can see the lateral stabilizing piece extend down past the rest of the unit (the rectangular lump in the green part of his sock).
He was wearing a brace. Whatsherface on the sideline even said that Bulaga took off his brace on the left leg before going to the locker room.

was wearing a brace. the early reports said tear but later everything was sprain...much better than a tear.
