    Upcoming roster decisions

    Pennel and Goodson will be coming of their suspensions after the next game. It's likely that Price or Ringo will be released to make room for Pennel. I'm not so sure there will be a spot for Goodson.

    Obviously, there are a number of rookie DBs, any one of which could be released to make room for Goodson, but I'm not sure the Packers will want to do that. They already have 11 DBs, so I can't see them creating a spot for another by releasing someone at a different position.

    I have always thought Goodson's suspension might lead to his release, because others would show they were just as good, but younger and with more years of roster control. While I originally thought Robertson Daniel might be one to do so, he has been surpassed by at least 3, maybe 4 rookies this year, although he is back on their Practice Squad again.


    Then, in a few more weeks, we'll finally get to see how serious Linsley's injury is/was. He will be eligible to start practicing after 6 games.

    Are they still at 52?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    No. Price was 53.

    Agreed that Goodson is likely to be cut, unless...The only way I can see him getting activated is if Shields turns out to be done.

    I was thinking that too, but I don't see that decision being made by Shields or the team within the next two weeks. Even if he is leaning that way, I would suspect he would allow first for a reasonable period for recovery, then further tests and medical opinions. Maybe even wait for the Packers to put him on IR.

    The Packers are poised for a run. Shields is very important to this team this year. If I was him, I'd give it one more try, win another sb and then quit

    Do we have any indication that Sam would hang 'em up? I see this talked about a lot but I haven't heard anything indicating that's even a consideration for him.

    Two warning signs regarding concussions are when it starts taking longer to recover from a concussion, and when the concussions become more frequent. He missed 4 games after suffering one last December, and now he's out again. We don't know what his current condition is, but the trend isn't good.

    Yup, then throw in that this was his 5th documented concussion and it occurred on a relatively routine play, not a huge hit, or his head hitting the ground, or helmet to helmet, etc.

    It's not just his call. The Packers don't want a brain injury victim on their rap sheet. It may be nearing a point where there is a medical consensus of opinion that he should not risk another concussion.

    Article the other day said shields received a "good report" from concussion specialist and should be back in a few weeks. I'm guessing they go through multiple doctors for something like this though.

    I think if he gets one more, his career may be done. Teams won't want to take the risk of putting him back on the field.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Shields is expected to "miss time beyond Sunday's game against the Lions and "should be cleared to play in a few more weeks."

    I don't see how it affects Goodson. Daniel was released from the practice squad. The same issue remains with respect to Goodson's return. Is there a DB they would release in favor of Goodson?

    My guess is yes. Hawkins is so raw and not strong on Special Teams. He has little value this year. I'd be a bit disappointed if he was lost but not crushed. He could come up lame in practice and retweak his hammy. As we saw on Sunday, they need someone who at least has a clue on the perimeter in the event of injury and/or someone with some special teams value as well. Evans could be another possibility.

    Or I could be way off base.

    I suspect that PS position will go a TE. Mitchell Henry was waived with an injury settlement due to a broken finger. If healthy, he would be a possibility. Kennard Backman is also a free agent.

    Give Sam Shields the helmet that Aaron Rodgers uses.
