No way Zimmer and Barr fall for that.

i like the in-the-pocket, move-the-chains, Rodgers. as last night's second half proved again, a less mobile Rodgers gets the ball out faster and is more surgical. no time to hold the ball and look for the home run ball unless it presents itself. the o-linemen also know where Rodgers is at all times and can move their man in the appropriate direction. it's going to be another squeaker.
Packers favored by 2.5. That may change if Rodgers can't play.
has anyone heard anything?
i haven't been able to find any updates anywhere
I know, Redman. But it's all I got.
It could be shorts and tennis shoes and an immobilization brace.
They'll play the mystery game all week, not sure if Rodgers can play, stressing that Kizer is taking starter's reps this week.
Then Rodgers will step onto the field with the offense on game day.
I've always said Rodgers has only one weakness as a QB and that is he looks for the big play every play instead of taking what the D gives him. He should probably check down to running plays about 25% of the time. Perhaps this will shore up his weakness and he will now be 100% perfect.
Packer fans are typically the most crazy, so they often skew the betting line, so that Vegas has to compensate to get enough people betting against them. Thus the 2.5 at home with Rodger's status 'uncertain'*
I'm not sure about your claim about holding off on betting until Superstar status is determined. It seems to me stars are injured all the time in the NFL, their status is 'unknown' all week, and yet betting continues. That's just my impression - I don't follow it close enough to know for certain.
*I'm 'betting' Vegas has well-compensated moles in the various organizations giving them inside info
The sportsbooks use calculated knowledge. They also post lines that take positions i.e. the "trap" game. They know damn well that Rodgers wouldn't have played the 2nd half if he couldn't play next week. The knee is structurally sound and ARod will play. If we are lucky he will still be structurally sound after the game next week.
I think Dan is right. Vegas will take games off the board if there is doubt and private info that might swing the money hard before Vegas and the public find out. A Rodgers injury is just that kind of thing. James Jones might make a killing off a -2.5 line for himself if Rodgers is out 2 weeks. Later in the season its not strange to see one game not listed until the injury reports are out officially.
Therefore I think Bobble is also right that its a better than even bet he plays. I wish I was that confident.
This aggregation site has a few books that are not offering odds yet. But its not just the Packers game: http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/
Mostly it seems that the Vikings have become the favorites by a 1 point.

Currently there are eight games without lines, waiting for information.

#Packers defenders with the greatest percentage of missed tackles, according to @Sportradar:

50% — CB Kevin King
33% — OLB Reggie Gilbert
25% — CB Josh Jackson
25% — ILB Antonio Morrison
18.2% — S Kentrell Brice
For no reason, here is the 1992 Bills-Oilers Playoff Game featuring that comeback. Remember some players: Frank Reich, Webster Slaughter, Nate Odom, Mark Kelso, Darryl Talley (and a sign for him that read Talley's Whackers!), Curtis Duncan, Jack Pardee, Kevin Gilbride, Lorenzo White, Kenneth Davis, Ernest Givens, Pete Metzelaars Don Beebe and James Lofton!
I was skiing with friends and came back to the lodge and saw the game. Was told the score and thought it was over. Had no intention of staying to watch a blowout but the comeback kept us (well me and one other guy) in out seats.

Quote:
The Green Bay Packers made four different roster moves on Tuesday.
The team claimed cornerback Deante Burton off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons, placed receiver Trevor Davis on injured reserve, signed cornerback Will Redmond to the practice squad and released safety Marwin Evans from the practice squad.
I was surprised it took so long with Trevor Davis. He has basically been injured all preseason and going on two weeks of the regular season. I expect an injury settlement will be forthcoming unless they feel strongly enough about his future special teams work.
Rollins spot seems to have been filled, over and over again if you count the one roster signing and the one PS signing.
But there is still room for Davis. We will know that if he gets a injury settlement so he can get off IR and sign with the Packers again this year. They are either tired of waiting (which would be remarkably fast for the Packers) or trust his injury and history aren't going to make him an attractive target.
They don't want Cobb back there and they probably don't want even the third RB back there. Maybe one of the new guys get a ST job.
I can't recall if they tried Exxon Valdez at PR, but he would be the guy you'd probably want back there from among the young WRs - if he can field a punt.
For example:
https://www.silverandblackpride.com/...t-could-returnQuote:
The way injury settlements work is a player and the team agree to a payout based on how long the player is expected to be injured. After that time is up, he can sign anywhere, or wait three weeks at which point the Raiders are allowed to re-sign him.
For instance, should the injury settlement for just one week, Whalen could be re-signed in a month.
You need only look at what happened with James Cowser in 2016. The Raiders released him on an injury settlement on September 10th. By October 4th, he was re-signed to the team’s practice squad and he’s been with the team ever since.
So Davis has a Packer hammy.
4 weeks until healed. 3 more weeks for Packers to wait. Can have him back on the roster in 8 weeks if no other team signs him.
Yes, if you think the injury is real short term, because they have to wait the settlement period plus three weeks. If you think the injury is 4 weeks or less, why not just keep him on the 53 man roster and not have to wait the extra three weeks while he is presumably healthy? This early in the season the roster is quite healthy, and with game day inactives anyway it should be easy to carry him for four games.
