Bishop Season In Danger

[pbmax]

Needs hammy surgery. Extent of damage observed during repair will inform timetable and rehab. Season in some doubt. Unknown if he could be a candidate for new IR rule. Unknown if NFLPA has approved the new IR rule.

Starks has turf toe and is day to day at best. One Tweet said week to week.

House needs 2-3 weeks rehab then reevaluate. If healing, he gets a harness and playing time. If doesn't show healing, will need surgery.

Ouch. Tough break for Bishop.

Yeah, in my memories, I recall hamstring injuries linger more and be more ability-depleting than run-of-the-mill knee injuries for NFL players.

Getting back on practice field will be especially rough, since quads are always stronger than hamstrings, and folks tend to put strain on their hammies when they start going full-speed.

Bishops loss really hurts. Looks like he is lost for the year. House played very well so we need him back ASAP. First game and already the injuries start. I swear it seems like when someone gets hurt in game they usually end up on IR.

Ouch. Tough break for Bishop.

and us, see him shaking his head when he was helped off, he know it was bad.

Interesting re Starks. I didn't think Benson's signing meant he'd be cut but now I'm not so sure. Availability is a big deal for non-core players on M3's team.

The Packers could be losing patience with Starks. Having a disappointing camp, (per at least some reports) and getting injured yet again, they very well could decide it is time to move on.

PUP tent for Starks?

Or won't they bother?

Don't think you can put a guy on PUP once he's passed his physical. I think it's keep, cut or IR.

Joe hit it right. PUP is not an option. In-season PUP is available only as an extension of PUP from preseason, which is available only to players who are not able on Day 1. Even one day at TC takes PUP off the table.

However, if Bishop goes on IR, the abreaviated IR might be an option for Starks, assuming the NFLPA actually approves the change.

[pbmax]

I think we are underestimating Starks' injury. After some confusion, it looks like week to week is his actual prognosis, meaning he is going to miss some time.

Benson might simply be stopgap right now. If he ever signs.

Have faith in Smith.

Damn this sucks but at least we have DJ Smith to step in Bishop's place. Just hope House will be ready by the start of the season now.

All these injuries remind me of the 2 season ago. I like how that ended.

I'd rather have the team coming together and getting healthier, back-from-suspensions, etc later in the season than clicking on all cylinders early on. Seems backwards, but we know what a hot team can do in the playoffs and it just feels like this season is shaping up to move (hopefully) in that direction.

Really sucks about Bishop. Hamstring surgery sounds tough... =/
