* On Nick Barnett: "We've lost Nick Barnett for the season because of a ligament tear in his knee." Got the word about a half-hour ago. Declines to say which ligament, though odds are it's the ACL. No surgery scheduled yet. Desmond Bishop is most likely to start in his place.

I agreeSwede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy revealed Monday that MLB Nick Barnett needs surgery to repair a torn ligament in his knee. He will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season.
Desmond Bishop is directly behind Barnett on the depth chart, but Green Bay may also explore moving A.J. Hawk or Brandon Chillar to the middle with Brady Poppinga staying outside. The Packers have lost three key defenders for the year in Barnett, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, and Cullen Jenkins and their fantasy defense's prospects are very dim going forward. They are currently 28th against the run and will likely continue to struggle there.

Can't remember the last game that I heard his name called.
We heard his name the very play after he got injured, when his replacement at MLB was responsible for giving up a lengthy TD...Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to grow

Since they will have a roster spot open, I thought maybe they could sign Hodge, who had gone to the Bengals practice squad. But, after a couple weeks on their practice squad, Cincy signed him to their 53 man roster in October. I didn't catch that before.

Barnett was only playing average anyhow. He whiffed on several tackles so I don't see his loss as monumental. I think Bishop and Chillar (if healthy) can fill in adequately here. We still have serious problems on the line however and there isn't really anyway to fix that until next year. It is what it is.Originally posted by Pacopete4Originally posted by imscott72Injuries are part of every team's season.
