UGH..What a shame..MRI tomorrow..
LAWL
Probably the end of the line for him. Too bad, he seemed like a good guy who just had rotten luck. Best of luck to him in his life after football.
Good thing Jarius Wynn wasn't claimed by anybody.
its probably an ingrown hair
A good guy who's career may have ended as a result of horrible luck, and you guys are here laughing and sarcastically minimizing the extent of his injury.
Sorry your self-esteem is that low.
He's hurt. What a shock. The man should quit football, for his own good. Time to get a new DE.
Agree...I have to think an entire almost 2 years of taking it easy made his body a bit weaker than it might have been. Sometimes when guys get in a rut they can't get out. Feel bad for Justin, and all of us packer fans who could use another DL to cheer for.Quote:

There's a story dated yesterday that the Seahawks worked him out, but I don't think anybody has signed him yet.Quote:

He's not on Seattle's roster. http://www.seahawks.com/team/roster.htmlQuote:

this kind of sad?
(its brett favre crying. some reason i can't post pics anymore.)
Bug guy looked pretty good in the few snaps I saw him. Too bad.
Edit: Bug guy? That's pretty bad. "Big guy" of course.
no like real tears. real sad. I'm afraid there is no 35th chance.Quote:

Guys dream about this their whole lives. He made it to the NFL. Even played well when he got on the field, just couldn't stay there. It's one of those moments when you feel bad, but at the same time, watch to see what he'll do if they don't keep him...
on his facebook, jarius posted about "going back to work tomorrow"
this was about an hour ago.... probably Ted and co. called his ass up right when Harrell got hurt in the 1st Quarter.
Ligaments don't get tougher playing football. And he has probably been working out off-field as much as any of his teammates.Quote:

Wynn is still out there if Harrell goes to IR, he must really have some bad tape on him to not be picked up :P
think he was collecting unemployment? one more job created.Quote:

Please do not feel too bad as JH has already pocketed millions. JH is full of injury bad luck.Quote:

The guy was in the rotation. Imagine having him and Neal as backups this season. That would m ake for a powerful offensive line and help greatly the defensive backfield. It was a piece of bad luck for Harrell and the team. Not as bad as injuries to other players; nonetheless, it was important.
I'm going to be in the minority, probably, but I'm going to agree with gbgary and say put the guy on injured reserve, and bring him back next year. You have very little to lose.
Good post Fritz (except offensive line?).Quote:

i don't agree with bringing him back. move on from him and draft some more help on the d-line
this isn't just a recent little problem for him, this is something that dates all the way back to high school. and we're not talking about little nagging injuries that he can learn to play through. we're talking major injuries that happen almost every year for the past 10 years or so.
the kids body just wasn't built to play football or carry all that weight or something
you could bring him back to camp next year but i don't see how you can give him a roster spot over another guy and rely on him to stay healthy
Bad luck on the field but you'll always be a Packer...unless you become a Viking player :lol: I'm guessing though that JT's got more than just a pocketful of change from his NFL experience.
I would sure hope so.Quote:

been looking around for a story all morning and don't see anything. Has the team announced anything related to him yet?
it's official
torn ACL, done for the year
grant will also miss this weeks game
MM at his press conference today confirmed Harrell is out for the season (ACL).
Quote:
I’ll start off with the two significant injuries that occurred in yesterday’s football game. Justin Harrell suffered an ACL injury. He will be placed on IR. Justin will be lost for the season. And Ryan Grant also had a significant ankle injury. We’re still in the process of gathering all of the information. I know Ryan will not be available this week against Buffalo. I really do not have a timetable because we’re still doing more testing.
Thanks, I just found McCarthy's press transcript like 5 minutes ago. Sucks. I thought he'd get hurt before the 1st preseason game, then I started to believe that it might be like Mike Flanagan's career where finally he got it turned around. Not so.Quote:

well dang it. let him rehab that puppy and make him play in knee braces (plural) and maybe he'll be ok. one more chance.
