THE injury

[red]

well, this is the a-rod injury watch thread

post here if anyone hears anything

what we no for sure is that its a left shoulder injury (probably a pulled hamstring)

packerrats has heard whispers out of green bay that it could be an AC separation, which might mean a-rod misses multiple weeks

[red]

fat mike gives us nothing in the post game presser because the training staff has no clue what the injury is

he said we'll know more tomorrow

probably after a-rod sees a real doctor that knows what the fuck he's doing

This medical crew is absolutely clueless. More inept than Slocum coaching ST and our defense on the last drive.

Flynn was released today. Wallace should be shown the door regardless. That guy was useless.

Bring Flynn in for a workout.

They know exactly what the injury is...why the hell they don't want to tell anyone is anyone's guess. Maybe they are in denial.

I hope and pray it's an AC joint separation. That's the injury Favre suffered to non-throwing shoulder when Reggie pile-drived him in 1992.
If it's collar bone fracture, it's bye bye season, or at minimum a majority of season gone and by then likely out of the race, regardless of what McGinn might surmise.

More likely they need an MRI to diagnose the injury.

Maybe true, but it is common for coaches to "beat around the bush" with this stuff. I don't know why this is. Just give it to the public straight up. This should especially be true for the Packers given the ownership structure.

my guess is that the x-ray revealed shit was broken (or why wouldn't he have returned?), but they're waiting for an MRI to see how much other stuff is also fucked up before letting us know it a worse case type of scenario

If it is an AC separation, the extent of injury is likely unknown until they can get an MRI scan to see if ligament is torn or disruption to the deltoid, neither of which would be seen on x-ray. There's six different levels of AC separation severity.

and the last 4 levels require surgery to fix from what i read

Ok..I stand corrected. It just seems like the public is getting the run around when it comes to injuries.

Demo agrees McCarthy knows more than he is letting on, though I think saying "exactly" is pushing it because swelling can hide things and no MRI was done. They can do CTs at the stadium I believe.

@JerseyAlGBP Cuz he knows exactly what's wrong with Rodgers.

With some injuries, don't they wait to do an MRI to see if initial swelling goes down? Hoping for the best. Bring back Flynn! You can't let Wallace go at this point. With Rodgers situation being unknown, Flynn would be a perfect fit. Wallace would be 2nd string until Rodgers comes back, and then they'd have to decide if they carry three QB's. That's assuming they go after Flynn, which would seem to make the most sense at this point.
