"Out indefinitely" just means until an independent neurologist ok's him to play. That could happen today. That is what the JSO was reporting as early as Sunday, and I don't think this is a new development--just different wording.

I am in MN and Justin Morneau and Pierre Marc Buchard have missed SIGNIFICANT time because of head injuries in their respective sports...I HOPE he is ok.

When it comes to concussions, there's a difference between "being medically cleared to play" and "being clear-headed enough to play at a high level." The former is granted to people who will not risk any further injury or harm by playing whatever it is they play, and the latter is highly dependent on what you do. Baseball and hockey require a really high degree of awareness, hand eye-coordination, and quick recognition of small details. Football, except at the QB position, requires less of all of that. As soon as Grant is certified by an independent neurologist that his brain physiology has returned to normal, he'll be back on the field. This generally happens on a time table between "hours" and "weeks" depending on the severity of the injury. Early reports indicate that Grant will almost certainly be back before the season, even if he misses a preseason game or two.

Morneau's not being held out because he stands a risk of further injuring his brain, he's being held out because the lingering symptoms of his concussion have made it very difficult to hit major league pitching (which, as I understand it, is quite difficult even without headaches.)

Unless its Nick Blackburn pitching :)

I want to be wrong for sure I just hope that there are no lingering effects. I dont think BJack can handle it

I think Jackson has come a long way since he was forced to start as a rook in 07. I think he could carry the load.

I think this is a new rule in the NFL this year isn't it? The whole neurologist thing?

I think we will be fine until he comes back but it sure would be nice to see him healthy an entire season.

He sure has the coaching staff on his side, and seems pretty assignment sure. Too bad he can't run worth a crap.

Well, he's pretty good with the ball once he gets it past the line of scrimmage. So worst case scenario, we just never run the ball. If you want the equivalent of a running play, you run a screen pass or a dump-off to the RB in the flat. It's like the early 90s Packers!

112 catches in 93, I beleive to set the single season NFL record at the time.

It was totally random! There was this sport radio talk show guy - Ferrel - who I used to listen to in the early 90s. Every time the Packers came up he just went off:

Over and over. Then he'd talk about how hung over and miserable he was.

If the OL can pass block well enough when we only run 15 times a game, BJack will be fine.

This is bad news since the Packers do not have an every down back.

Maybe more 3-4 wr sets with one back.

Less than Chris Carter caught in '95.

But more than the sum of the sides of the square root of an iscoceles triangle.
