Tony Palmer

Sounds like Tony Palmer broke a bone in his neck. He could be lost for the season. I wonder if they'll sign a OL to replace him, or now that Moll is back, they sign somebody at a position they have low numbers at (TE, LB). They kept their best 53, but as guys get injured, you have to figure the roster inbalance might even out a bit.

They do gave a Guard, Cameron Stephenson, on the Practice Squad. I know nothing about him. This is from Packers.com:

Stephenson was a fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2007 NFL Draft. A two-year letterwinner at Rutgers, Stephenson played on the defensive line as a 2005 junior before switching to offensive line as a senior. He started all 12 games at right guard in 2006 and earned second-team All-Big East accolades.

It depends on the bone, the location of the break, size of the break, and the amount of displacement if any.

Don't panic yet...

If he's gone more than a couple of weeks, they'll put him on the IL. Like Holiday, there's no room to keep a borderline guy on the roster. Also, I'm not really worried. I was mildly surprised Palmer made the team, and I'd rather get a 3rd TE or 6th LB on the team. Moll is healthy now, so we have a replacement for Palmer.

Amen; I hope he's OK

Then they will probably DL him and grab a LB or TE if one is out there

Amen; I hope he's OK

Yes. I'll second that.
