Bulaga done for year?

[pittstang5]

Neal still out.

Packer Report @PackerReport
Meanwhile, Kuhn, Shields, Nelson and Worthy were back for #Packers. Woodson, Matthews, Jennings, Neal were out.

Now what's wrong with Neal? He finished the Arizona game ok, didn't he?

No idea. I am assuming they are being careful with whatever he injured during Cardinal game. Listen, he's finished almost 6 games in a row. That wears on a guy.

Bummer about Bulaga. Is there any information on what is wrong?

Sherrod and Quarless are interesting, no one wat sure when we'd see them back. Quarless though, as I suspect will be the case with Sherrod, will be a ways off game ready. TC is there for more than a reason to sell preseason game tickets. Nice to have Shields back as well.

Still the hip. Their guess seems to be he will heal without surgery but not 100% pawsitive. Clearly he's going to be out well past a month. At this point, they are out of roster spaces waiting for people to get healthy.

Quarless should be as ready as Zombo is, both practiced for three weeks and are on the 53 man roster.
Sherrod is just starting to shake off the rust, with today being his first practice in almost a year.

JSO reporting Bulaga placed on IR. So'oto signed to take roster spot.

Kind of a tough call if he could indeed be OK in 4-6 weeks. Seven weeks of games left yet, and playoffs, but when your game day inactive list is all players who couldn't play anyway for medical reasons, it makes it kind of tough.

I think McCarthy (and possibly Thompson) always seem to err on the side of not rushing a guy back too fast and risking long-term complications. This is certainly the responsible and ethical thing to do, but I think if there's any doubt in MM's mind, he'll push for IR.

Not to mention that last year's experience of bringing Clifton (and Jennings) back in January after long layoffs wasn't exactly something to remember.

McCarthy said next backup tackle would depend on side that gets hurt. Lang has played LT before, does anyone see Barclay playing LT?

Barclay has been practicing at RT, so I assume they would move Lang to LT. His teammates say he's pretty good: http://www.espnmilwaukee.com/corp/pa...p_/4701?feed=2

Oh shit. Cross your fingers no one else goes down.

We need more than that.

Joe, don't post no more shit like that.

Bulaga had a dislocated hip. Ouch.

You know, a longer form newspaper article has some remaining advantages. This AP article does a nice job of summing up the entire depressing situation and even manages to end with a Ryan Pickett quote that could give you some hope.
