Looks like we'll know tomorrow how much (if any) time Driver will miss. I'm glad we have good depth at WR. This will give Jones and Cobb an opportunity to step up.

Oh nooooooo. I was actually a little disappointed to see him back in the game. He's just taking valuable reps from Cobb at this point.

now that's a man

in obvious pain with what might be a serious knee injury

he basically rubbed some dirt on it and went back in and caught a td

I think he has a shin contusion. He may miss some time, but it's not something that will limit him. Just pain management.

I wonder if he somehow knows it might be his last chance and playing at home wanted to go out on top.

Driver in the JSO report said they can't do an MRI at the stadium but the Doc agreed he couldn't do more damage. Doesn't sound just like a shin contusion.

Maybe why Ted caved and gave Jordy an extension? :lol:

Another freaky injury. My guess is a bursa sac, similar to Neal's. He got kicked near the knee cap in a way that was unlikely to do any injury to a structural part of the knee, other than the patellar tendon maybe. But that kick could have irritated the hell out of one the knee's bursa sacs. He'll be back in two weeks.

Great career.

The way Cobb looks, 4 games from now, Driver is going to come back to a leadership / bench role.

Looked like a bad case of the HIV to me.

It does sound like a bursa. A blow near the kneecap will pop a bursa pretty easily. A bursa is easily recognizable, seems like they would have commented about it right away if that's what it was.

And why to the Packers have an MRI machine at the stadium....I thought that most teams already had this ability at their stadiums?

I doubt most NFL teams have MRI magnets on site. A new machine costs about a million bucks. As far as diagnosis goes, the dr. can usually ascertain torn ligaments just from testing the knee's stability by hand. And in many cases doing an MRI won't tell you much until the swelling goes down. So no reason to invest that much in something you really don't need.

fixed. yep, i was surprised about that when i read it too. it's a very expensive machine though and if a facillity with one is nearby then it's probably no big deal.

MM says Driver not in danger of missing game Sunday. Also, Grant cleared to practice. http://blogs.greenbaypressgazette.com/blogs/gpg/insider/2011/10/03/mike-mccarthy-press-conference-highlights-8/

Well, how else does he stay so skinny? He's lived in wisconsin forever now. He should be about the size of Taucher right now. Hmm, that's given me a good idea. I could start marketing the all new HIV diet. "Shed pounds like there's no tomorrow!"
