Packer TC Injury Report.

TC Injury Report - 3 Aug. 2006.

** Quarterback Brett Favre wore a black rubber sleeve on his lower left leg to protect the calf that was banged during a blitz drill on Tuesday night, but participated in the entire practice.

McCarthy said it's not serious and if he were concerned, he would have rested him.

** Running back Najeh Davenport (ankle) sat out another practice, though this was the first time he missed a workout when only one was scheduled. On days with two practices, he's been sitting out the morning workout and would do so again Thursday, though it was unclear if he'd be ready to return Thursday night.

** Guard Junius Coston returned to practice after recovering from heat-related issues the past couple of days.

[woodbuck27]

Maybe we could use this thread to keep track of the Teams adversity.

Some of us. . .almost had a major coniption yesterday when we realized we could find littl ink or no photo's revealing Nick Collins was "in fact" in TC.

Then as usual - a woman came to OUR rescue. MJ :mrgreen:

HOLD THE FAITH - PACKERS In 2006 !!!

Harris, Franks and Alcorn held out of practice

The Packers had three new injuries — players who didn’t practice Thursday morning. Cornerback Al Harris sat out because of an elbow injury sustained near the end of practice Wednesday. Starting tight end Bubba Franks and backup tight end Zac Alcorn also attended but didn’t participate Thursday morning because of unidentified injuries.

Quarterback Brett Favre also didn’t practice Thursday morning, but by all appearances it was because the Packers are holding him out of most morning practices on days when they have two workouts to limit his number of throws. He did not have a wrap or ice on his calf, which was kicked in practice late Tuesday night.

Friday - 4 August 2006

Tight end Bubba Franks sat out both practices with what McCarthy termed "camp swelling" in his right knee.

Al Harris also sat out with an elbow injury sustained on a running play during Wednesday's practice, when Samkon Gado and Nick Collins crashed into a water cooler while going out of bounds.

Tight end Zac Alcorn missed practice because of an injury to his side, sustained when he fell on the ball while making a diving catch over the middle on Wednesday.

Najeh Davenport (ankle, cramps) missed both practices after previously being on a schedule where he'd sit once on a two-practice day.

Guard Jason Spitz had his quadricep wrapped in ice at the end of the evening practice.

How about a Clifton update? That tackle position is still all F'd up isn't it?

Yea Murph. He's limping and being rested (ice pack on knee two days ago I believe).

Let the young fellas have all the time they can get to hopefully improve. We certainly can't expend Chad Cifton and Mark Tauscher either, in TC.

Latest Injury Report - Sat. AM 5 Aug.2006

Cornerback Al Harris (elbow) and tight end Zac Alcorn (side) returned to practice Friday.

Leo Bookman (ankle) who had returned to practice the last couple of days was out again.

Cornerback Charles Woodson had an ice pack wrapped on his hip toward the end of practice for what McCarthy called a hip flexor. He said Woodson would be evaluated Saturday morning as to whether he would participate in the scrimmage.

Same for running back Najeh Davenport (ankle, cramps), who missed practice again.

Among first-team players, tight end Bubba Franks (knee) and offensive tackle Chad Clifton (knee) will not participate in the Family Night scrimmage.

GO PACKERS !

[woodbuck27]

The following players were scratched from the scrimmage on Family Night due to injury:

receiver Leo Bookman (ankle); safety Marquand Manuel (calf); cornerbacks Will Blackmon (foot), Patrick Dendy (ankle), Mike Hawkins (knee) and Charles Woodson (hip); running backs Ahman Green (quad), Arliss Beach (concussion) and Najeh Davenport (ankle); linebackers Brady Poppinga (knee) and Byron Santiago (back); offensive tackle Chad Clifton (knee); guard William Whitticker (hamstring); and tight end Bubba Franks (knee). Receiver Robert Ferguson missed the scrimmage for personal reasons. McCarthy said it was a family matter.

At Family Night.

Safety Nick Collins appeared to be OK after a scary collision. On a deep ball to Boerigter down the sideline that fell incomplete, Collins had trouble stopping after going out of bounds, slipped down and collided with a non-padded portion of wall at the front row of the stands. Collins was briefly looked at by the training staff and jogged off the field under his own power. The injury was to his back, and he did not return

Rookie cornerback not nearly recovered
Blackmon sidelined by broken bone in foot
By BOB McGINN
bmcginn@journalsentinel.com
Posted: Aug. 6, 2006
Green Bay - It's beginning to look as if rookie cornerback Will Blackmon won't be ready to play until at least mid-season if he plays at all for the Green Bay Packers this season.

Blackmon, a fourth-round draft choice from Boston College, has been out since suffering a break of the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot during a routine play on May 21, the last day of the second minicamp.

Surgery was performed shortly thereafter and a screw was inserted to promote healing. Still, Blackmon hasn't even been able to start running yet.

"You're just worried about it because of where the injury is," coach Mike McCarthy said. "I don't want that kid to have a setback. We're going to be smart there."

Blackmon said doctors had told him the injury has healed faster than expected but there was no timetable for his return.

"It'll probably be another six weeks because I want to be 100% when I get back," Blackmon said. "We're going to take as much time as it takes. I'm just being patient."

The Packers placed Blackmon on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp. If the foot isn't ready by the regular season, he would have to remain in that category until at least Oct. 17.

Between Oct. 17 and Nov. 7, the Packers could start having Blackmon practice for a 21-day period. After the 21 days, they either would have to activate him, cut him or place him on injured reserve.

"I don't necessarily assume that's the way it's going to be," general manager Ted Thompson said. "It kind of depends how quickly he responds. Everything's going well so far, though."

It could turn out to be a blessing in disguise because Blackmon, who had played wide receiver until the spring of 2005, was regarded as something of a project at cornerback. Plus, the Packers appear satisfied with Ahmad Carroll, Jason Horton and Mike Hawkins as their backup cornerbacks.

Blackmon, however, was counted on to challenge for the kickoff-return job and possibly the punt-return job. In college, he averaged 24.5 yards on kickoffs and 10.4 on punts.

Cornerbacks coach Lionel Washington said before camp that Blackmon, if healthy, would have about as much impact as Hawkins did as a rookie.

"He has great timing and a natural feel for it," Washington said. "Once he understands how to use his hands better this kid will be a good one."

I second that. I'm really dissappointed to hear about this. I really would have liked him to compete for the punt and kickoff return duties.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

he was a CB until 2005 and he was a project at WR. he was one of the best if not the best CB in the nation when he played there

When I watch Will Blackmon's skills on video, I am blown away with his athleticism. I see Reggie Bush like moves in this solid choice by T2.

What a shame that he won't be in TC and we have to wait . . but all good things . . .

RB Arliss Beach probably will be allowed to return this week, according to Thompson. Beach has been out since suffering a concussion July 30 after being belted by LBer Abdul Hodge in a blitz-pickup drill.

Ted Thompson indicated that RB Ahman Green (thigh) and LBer Brady Poppinga (knee) were close to returning

Good News there - Packer fans !!

[TPF]

Defintely good news.

[woodbuck27]

More . . . GOOD NEWS !


T Chad Clifton suited up for Monday night’s full-pads practice.

Clifton has missed several days of training camp due to a sore knee that was surgically repaired in the offseason. Clifton's return comes as welcomed news to the Packers, who are thin at tackle. Clifton participated in only one repetition in one-on-one drills against defensive linemen but was solid in his assignment stopping the attack of KGB.

Also suiting up Monday night were tight end Bubba Franks and running back Najeh Davenport. Both had sat out during Monday morning’s practice.

RB Arliss Beach practiced Monday after being out since July 31 with a concussion

On a bad note:

First-year safety Atari Bigby injured his right hand while making a tackle.

The hand was set in a cast, and Bigby was sidelined Monday. Bigby said between practices that he was to see a specialist in the afternoon. He feared the hand was dislocated or broken.

"I know it's something. It don't feel too good," Atari Bigby said.

Action and reaction: Safety Nick Collins escaped injury Saturday night when his feet went out from under him and he went crashing into the wall at the northeast corner of Lambeau Field. Thompson doesn't intend to test his luck again.

On Monday, Thompson announced plans to extend the outdoor carpet that covers the cement pathway adjacent to the wall in the end zones. By doing so, the Packers hope to minimize the possibility of serious injury.

"Behind the bench there's really no danger," Thompson said. "But when people run corner routes and out routes down in the red zone that becomes a little bit more dangerous. So we're going to try to rectify that. That was a nasty fall."

Coach Mike McCarthy also called for corrective measures to be taken. Collins suffered a bruised back but practiced Monday.

Receiver Greg Jennings wasn’t dressed in pads for Tuesday afternoon’s practice.

Jennings suffered a thigh injury late in Monday night’s practice, which coach Mike McCarthy described as a sore muscle. Jennings wore shorts and spent part of Tuesday’s practice inside the Don Hutson Center while his teammates worked out on Clarke Hinkle Field.

Safety Atari Bigby was wearing a cast on his right hand on Tuesday. He hurt his hand in Saturday night’s scrimmage and McCarthy said he was getting a second opinion on whether it was broken.

[woodbuck27]

Highly regarded rookie receiver Greg Jennings has recovered from a hip flexor injury in time to play on Saturday.

The second-round pick out of Western Michigan practiced on Thursday morning after sitting out earlier this week. Jennings has played his way onto the first-team offense in training camp - earning early praise from Favre - and will likely see time with the No. 1 offense on Saturday.

"I've been rotating in with the ones all camp, so more than likely I'll be in there with the ones," Jennings said. But that doesn't necessarily mean Jennings will get to rest once McCarthy pulls his veteran starters out of the game.

"I don't expect to be done after the first quarter," Jennings said, laughing.

"So definitely, I expect to get my share of reps." Jennings said he's excited that the team has allowed him to work with the first team so quickly.

"I'm excited about it, and I just want to continue to show progress and continue to get better," Jennings said.

"And that way, I'll permanently be there."

[woodbuck27]

G/T Will Whitticker said an MRI showed that he does not have a completely torn hamstring, but it is severe enough to keep him out for at least another week.

Whitticker said the plan was to try to start running in the middle of next week.

Coach Mike McCarthy said tackle Chad Clifton (knee) would definitely play against San Diego and receiver Greg Jennings (hip, groin) and running back Najeh Davenport (calf) were probable.

[MJZiggy]

Thanks for posting who's coming back, Buck, Has there been any more on Bigby's hand? I haven't listened to M3's daily injury quiz yesterday.

Underwood injury could be serious

By Pete Dougherty
pdougher@greenbaypressgazette.com

SAN DIEGO – Safety Marviel Underwood sustained what might be a serious injury early in the Packers’ loss to San Diego in their exhibition opener Saturday night.


Underwood’s knee buckled while he was trying to avoid a block on San Diego’s fourth play of the game. Underwood was in the starting lineup in place of injured Marquand Manuel.

Underwood barely moved while on the ground after the injury and couldn’t put any weight on his right leg as he was helped from the field. Coach Mike McCarthy said he didn’t know the severity of the injury or whether Underwood had torn his anterior-cruciate ligament, which would be a season-ending injury. But Underwood had his leg heavily wrapped and was on crutches after the game.

“He was on crutches. He was disappointed,” McCarthy said.

The Packers had at least four other injuries Saturday night. Defensive tackle Ryan Pickett hurt his finger; defensive tackle Kendarick Allen strained his side; tight end David Martin injured his hamstring; and running back Samkon Gado hurt his groin.

Packers safety Manuel back on the field

Safety Marquand Manuel, acquired by the Packers in the off-season but sidelined since the beginning of camp with a calf injury, is back on the field practicing with the first team.

Manuel was activated off the "physically unable to perform" list today.

His return comes two days after the Packers lost safety Maviel Underwood for the season with a knee injury in the exhibition game against the San Diego Chargers.

Yahoooo ! :mrgreen:

[woodbuck27]

Injury update Tues. Aug.15,2006

Running back Samkon Gado, who pulled a groin muscle at San Diego, did not practice Monday and wasn't sure when he'd return. The good news is it's just a muscle pull, not a tear, and Gado said he's feeling fine.

"They didn't give me a time frame," he said. "It could be days, it could be weeks, you just never know with groins. It all depends on how you attack the training and the rehab."

Gado said he got hurt in the third quarter when his foot got caught underneath a player and his leg twisted. He played one more play and limped off, fearing the injury was much worse.

"The rule of thumb is they wait 48 hours before they start doing anything, and it hasn't been 48 hours yet," he said. "But if I feel this good before 48 hours, I feel very optimistic about getting back on the field real soon."

Of the other injuries sustained on Saturday, defensive tackle Kenderick Allen (abdominal muscle) remained out. Defensive tackle Ryan Pickett (finger) and tight end David Martin (hand) returned to practice.

Receiver Leo Bookman (ankle) also returned to practice.

Linebacker Kevin Schimmelman and fullback A.J. Cooper sat out for unspecified reasons.

[MJZiggy]

Bookman returned to practice? Yay!!

[woodbuck27]

INJURY REPORT - Tuesday 15 Aug. 2006

Wide receiver Robert Ferguson (heel) missed both practices. Linebacker Kevin Schimmelmann (foot) missed for the second straight day. Cornerback Therrian Fontenot (hip) missed the morning practice, but returned at night.

William Whitticker (hamstring), Samkon Gado (groin), A.J. Cooper (shoulder), Kenny Peterson (ankle), Kenderick Allen (abdominal), Kurt Campbell (hamstring), Patrick Dendy (ankle), Mike Hawkins (knee) and Atari Bigby (hand) continued to miss practice.

Franks, Chad Clifton, Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport, Brady Poppinga and Marquand Manuel rested in the morning.

Underwood remains on the roster, but is expected to be out for the year with a knee injury. Wayne Lucier (ankle) missed the morning practice before he was cut.

[digitaldean]

Bookman returned to practice? Yay!!

Unfortunately, Bookman got cut later today with Lucier to make way for 2 new additions. 1 safety and 1 CB.
