    Brandon Jackson out indefinitely

    www.rotoworld.com

    Packers No. 2 back Brandon Jackson is out indefinitely with an ankle sprain.

    Coach Mike McCarthy admitted the sprain is worse than initially believed and gave no timetable for a return, giving us the impression that it may be a high ankle sprain. That could open the door for DeShawn Wynn to move up.

    When I was watching the game I saw him go off on the cart and didn't hear much about it after wards... Thats pretty big news...

    They will probably move him to the PUP list and Sutton/Lumpkin will make the active roster for the time being.

    Next weeks preseason game will be a battle between the two for the roster spot

      The options for him will be the final roster, season ending IR, or waived. PUP is not an option.

        explain it, what is the deal with being deactivated for the first 6 weeks of the season and then either being activated, or cut? I believe there is a spot like that is not considered IR.

          This was my understanding as well. They did this with Harrell each of his first two years.

            I believe the rule is "A player is not allowed to be placed on the PUP list if they start training camp on the active roster."

              Indeed.

                I did some reading. There are two types of PUP lists. There is an active PUP list that player can only be put on before the start of training camp. A player placed on the active PUP list cannot participate in practice. A player can be taken off the Active PUP list at any time.

                The other list is the Reserve PUP, most importantly, you have to already be on the active pup list to qualify for the reserve pup list. Once on the reserve pup, the team has until the 6th week of the season to make decision about the injured player.

                So Jackson no qualify.

                  Sutton is a happy man...not saying he wanted this...but he makes the team now.
                  Swede: 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.

                    We always have injured RBs - reason to keep it deep. I like how BJack's 2nd year was turning out. Hope it's just a sprain and he can play plenty.

                    Still think Lumpy is out and Sutton is edging in.
                    The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

                        a backup running back sprains an ankle two weeks before regular season.

                        I really don't think this is going to change any roster decisions. At most, they will temporarily promote a practice squad RB for a week or two like they did with Wynn in the past.

                              This would worry me more if Sutton hadn't looked so good so far.
                              Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.
