Injuries

[SkinBasket]

So three linebackers and Sitton were sittin by the end of the game with injuries. I never even heard what happened to Sitton or when thanks to the brilliant announcing job by Buck and Aikmen. Any word?

Knee on Sitton. Hawk and Bish calf injuries.

Any other injuries. I missed the game. Anyone think they are going to be out for a sigficant amount of time.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I expect Pat Lee has a bad case of heat rash under his collar. Guy got mugged by two guys, then gets tossed-out when he fights back. Hope he didn't smash his fist through a locker or something after exiting the game.

Bishop would be a big loss in my opinion. Same with sitton, but eds looked good.

I thought Smith played a very good half and I did not see much of a drop off from Bishop. I think we may have a player there.

guy is quick to ball, sure tackler. who cares if he is a midget

Bishop is on crutches. Big article on Sitton on the insider this week

The best explanation for Sitton's drop-off is a knee injury that has landed him on the injury report for six straight weeks and may be bothering him more than anybody outside the facility knows.

Seems like he was already banged up.... Hawk looks to be minor.

Bishop felt something pop; I think he's out till january! Too bad but other must step up!

[ThunderDan]

I think it is kind of a reflection of the team as a whole, but Bishop and Hawk go down and Smith and Francois play better. I think it reflects back to the average/below average play we have been getting from our ILBs this season.

From Rotoworld:

According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, Packers ILBs Desmond Bishop (calf) and AJ Hawk (calf) are in doubt for Week 13 at the Giants "and perhaps longer."
Both players missed the entirety of the second half. Bishop's injury is considered the more serious of the two. He was sporting crutches after the game and will head for an MRI on Monday. Rookie D.J. Smith replaced Bishop while Rob Francois filled in for Hawk.

I think the NFL needs to take a good, long look at how they schedule. 3 games in 11 days is insane. Detroit had a shit ton of injuries too and I know that it had to do with the short week. The NFL preaches player safety all the time, well here is an opportunity to actually do something about it. Maybe the team playing on Thursday should have a bye before hand. Or maybe, they should stop the regular Thursday night games, since hardly anyone can watch them anyway. Either way, the Packers are now really banged up due to the boneheads that put together the NFL schedule.

I agree. Teams that play Thursday should have the previous Sunday off. They do that in college....make it work in the NFL.
