I think I read this exact sentence by a viking troll on profootballtalk this morning.

Wasn't me. But sounds like a smart individual.

[Rutnstrut]

So Montgomery is still out with a mystery injury?

This is what they mean when they talk about "The Packer Way."

Next, it'll be a vague announcement from McCarthy: "Ty has an ankle." (Geez, Coach, no wonder he can't play - he's only got one?)

Then it'll be "we're evaluating the situation. He's on a day-to-day basis right now."

Then he'll be off to see a specialist.

Then we wonder how long they'll carry him on the roster before they IR him.

Let the discussion begin as to whether they should make him one of the two players they can bring back from IR.

You are probably spot on there. Looks like I may have given him too much credit, when I said months ago, that he wouldn't make it to the bye without missing time.

Close. He has a "lower leg"

[Fritz]

Close. He has a "lower leg"

So if the injury were slightly higher would MM say "Ty hurt his middle leg in practice today"?

At least we know if Dean Lowry suffers an arm injury this won't be an issue. Lower, middle, upper - all the same.

Sure. Make jokes about Lowry getting hurt What could go wrong?

You appear armed and dangerous.

First time I have seen them report NO concussion. Good to know the diagnosis runs both ways sometimes.

Freebie. From 16 to 6 missed tackles last night and half of the game had Wash starters.

Offense forced 15 missed tackles. I think half were on Hill's TD run.

Same article highlights:

Pringles returned to field after concussion last week. Whitehead re-aggravated his hip.

Vogel should be on duds list with four punts under 4 seconds of hang time. Hit a LOT of line drives.

Special teams obviously (Vogel and Davis fumble) took step back.

King was better, Rollins was solid and Hawkins stood out in dBackfield.

Packer first half D won TOP battle by five minutes and help Wash starters to 6/17 on 3rd down.

I thought Vogel punted pretty decently last night.

The Packers coverage units were better than the punter.

[pbmax]

The coverage units did help with those line drives. but so did the muff.

So it should be in the next couple of days where they announce that Monty is out for the season?

Nah. MM hasn't said "significant injury" yet.

Anybody know what a "soft tissue" injury is?

[pbmax]

Means muscle, ligament or tendon. Or organ.

Problem is they usually don't tread this lightly unless its bad. Waiting this long might mean second opinion.

It's the stuff that microbes like to eat when the body dies: muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, that kind of stuff. I don't believe cartilage qualifies as soft tissue, but I also doubt MM is versed on the clinical distinction. He probably has a calf or something. Old McDonald had a.....

For a second I was thinking you were going to diagnose ebola.

Baranczyk makes some good points about Spriggs, Janis, McCaffrey, Davis and Vogel.
