I think this is great news. I realize he is not back yet, but to get him a bit closer to the feild is great.

It takes time to get an atrophied muscle built up.

I'm not counting on much from Neal, maybe after Xmass.

[Brandon494]

Very good news until he gets injured again.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't think he is terribly prone to re-injury, although that is more likely than before.

I just think it will be a while before he gets the power back in that leg. He's gonna look like shit as a football player for a while. If he can play a bit in December, maybe he'll be contributing in January.

Only thing I know is he tweets a lot now a days. This years most disappointing player award goes to Mike Neal by a land slide. The guy who was suppose to step in for CJ...stepped in a pile of shit instead. I'm sure its not his fault but its frustrating as a fan.

100% disagree. I think the BIGGEST disapointment has to go to the LB opposite CMIII, be it Walden, Zombo, So'oto whomever.

For the LB crew, we were expecting mediocre and got poor. For Neal, due to the hype, we were expecting good an have gotten zip.
Good - zip > mediocre - poor, so Neal is the bigger disappointment.

Well, he's practicing. Maybe he'll play a little in December, get back into the swing for January. If he doesn't get hurt again.

TT has a great hit on a D lineman (Raji) and then a couple of big time injury busts (Harrell and Neal). I don't ever expect anything out of Neal.

[smuggler]

As someone who has had a cartilage injury (baseball), I'll say he should be good to go the minute he can play without reinjury. Of course, my game was mostly speed, but I think the same logic would apply.

The title of this thread makes me laugh every time I see it.

I think it's the "maybe" in the title and the state of Green Bay's pass rush.

[mraynrand]

Green Bay has a pass rush?

[RashanGary]

If he's strong for the playoffs, I'm good.

Football players are such wimps now days!

Fifty years ago a player with Neal's knee would have just kept on playing with his "trick knee". It might have caused his knee to lock up every now and then, making him fall on his face while running, but so what????

You are right on the money there, Patler. To hear Neal and the Packer staff talk about his knee injury, you'd think the Good Lord only gave us one leg each.
