Zombo broken scapula

[Fritz]

Too bad Reggie White wasn't still around. I'd make him my team doctor. That guy could have his arm half chopped off, bleeding out, and two days later he'd be playing in a game.

Ah, the power of prayer.

[Freak Out]

What? No Monty Python "it's just a flesh wound" references yet?

[bobblehead]

What, are you a doctor now?

NO, but he did stay at a holliday inn last night.

[MadScientist]

My point was that even under the best of care, as Butler probably had, it isn't always just a 6 weeks and strap the pads on again situation, as some are suggesting this will be. MM has been quoted as saying Zombo will miss significant time, which leads me to believe the medical staff may be thinking this will be more than just the routine 6 week healing time. Maybe because of the location?

6 weeks is significant time.

sucks, sucks hard

kinda wishing we would have looked for another olb in the draft rather then drafting more TE's that we have no room for

that's the problem with only drafting best player available, you get stuck with 6 or 7 decent TE prospects with no way of keeping them all

we keep drafting guys for special teams, yet we still always suck at special teams. maybe we should quit wasting draft picks for that shit. besides, with the way the nfl has completely screwed up kickoffs, we should only need special teams for punts. crosby can kick the ball out of the back of the end zone everytime now if slocum or slowick or whoever it is quits trying to be cute by poping the ball up high and short

I hope the Sherrod and Cobb knee sprains are minor, cuz I'm starting to get pissed off every time I hear about a Packer injury.

But I suppose some are bound to happen. Still, isn't this team due for some good luck on the injury front???

[Brandon494]

It sucks but atleast hes not any other starter on defense. Looks like Vic So'oto is making the team.

[retailguy]

That's a tough guy with a good work ethic. We need more just like him.

[vince]

Tough break. I don't think the Packers necessarily need him to win, but he's a pretty reliable piece when healthy.

So'oto plays a lot like Zombo doesn't he?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Enough with the pity party - a backup has been lost for perhaps 4 weeks of the regular season.

the good, they die young

We used up all our luck last year.

[Joemailman]

Tough break.

Na, that's a pretty standard time that they typically aren't hesitant to admit to with a broken bone. The fact that he or the med staff don't admit to it makes me wonder.

Have you ever known the McCarthy administration to be forthcoming on injuries and recovery times? I can't recall a time when he would come out and say "n weeks" or "[specific ligament] strain."
