Injuries

[Pugger]

Looking at the replays during the game I was surprised to see his pained expression right after the tackle and watch him limp off. We won't need him next week. Thank god we are deep at WR and TE.

McCarthy usually calls knee injuries a sprain until they do an MRI. I don't think he really knows what the injury is.

Still bothers me that there's been no chatter from our Twitter addicted Jennings...

We're deep, but Jennings is a game changer. Losing him is severe degrdation. Jones becomes second best receiver.

I've been too chicken to look on here about Jennings. It took me a couple hours to gather up the stones to peek on here.

Man, he looked bummed. It was one freaky play. Really didn't look like it should've caused any harm, but you know how things go.

I'm getting sick of "New Packer-speak". "Knee sprain" is now an injury that can fixed with a band-aid or require season ending surgery. I know Stubb is trying to keep us in the dark, but SHIT.

Tell us what's up, bud!

At least he didn't say it was "significant". That's never good.

PFT has the rumors as MCL sprain, degree unknown.

A sprain is a tear. Its all a matter of how much tissue is torn. If it was completely torn, then its Grade 3. Grade 1 would be stretched. Florio doesn't know the grade. Saying tear makes it a better headline.

Second report of MCL, this time at least referencing the Packers.

Fits Rodgers timeline. RT @AlbertBreer: #Packers believe Greg Jennings' injury is, indeed, an MCL injury. MRI today will determine severity.

I think all reports concerning Packer injuries would come from...Green Bay Packers; I don't count hot air journalism as a source. The hard thing is to identify the hot air from the real thing but I've said it before that Green Bay is NOT A RUMOR MILL.

We just need to compile a "Stubbionary" so everyone can understand the lingo:

"Knee sprain" - his leg is hurt. Might need a band-aid, might need a new career.
"back strain" - he fucked it up lifting weights and put his career in jeopardy.
"pad level" - I'm tired of trying to explain why the offensive line sucked so consistently.
"knee bend" - see above.

Others?

RT @jasoncrooks1: Jordy Nelson just said on the @jimrome show that he is hearing that Jennings will be back for the playoffs.

He should do what Al Michaels decided to do a long time ago. In order to save himself memorizing or reading minutiae, he broke every injury down to one body part with no modifiers to describe the actual injury.

"Greg Jennings with a leg."

I think he got the idea from Hockey, where players sometimes hurt their torso or upper body.

I remember when George Cumby said he was going to be in the playoffs during the 1983 season and my brother and I would ask how he was able to purchase tickets so early.

When Hornung used to do the color commentary for Packer preseason games, he would just say a player suffered an injury somewhere above his toenails and below his scalp. It's easier to remember that when you have a fifth of whiskey on board.

"Signficant" -- most likely going to IR.
