THE injury

[esoxx]

4-6 most severe, can we get lucky for once and have a grade I or II?
Thinking if it's a collarbone they would know exact diagnosis and type of fracture involved; non-displaced, displaced, spiral, etc...

and if it was a collarbone i doubt he would have been back out on the sideline without a sling or ice

I loved how Boomer said Favres phone would start ringing after Rodgers went down. Westwood One....lol.

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.

Depends on the severity of the separation. If it is an AC sep. then the fact that he could jog to the locker room is a positive sign. I had a third degree AC separation and I sure as hell couldn't have ran like that after the injury. They didn't even give him a sling.

nope, sorry, that bridge has been burned down, pissed on, recycled into TP and used to wipe some fat drunks ass after eating a giant burrito and flushed to hell, or wherever the toilet sends things

[sharpe1027]

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

Not always. Third degree may not require surgery, especially for a non throwing arm.

*edit*. And there we have proof that alcohol affects math skills. Sorry Red. I can't count.

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 were a fracture I would think he would have been in a sling like Woodson was in the SB.

[Pugger]

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.

Something has to be wrong with Flynn. Why couldn't he cut it as a back up in Oakland or Buffalo?

Remember when Aaron went out with a concussion against Detroit and Flynn had to come in? Matt didn't look much better than Wallace did tonight. However, with a week of reps Flynn damn near beat NE in NE save a stupid TD return by that lineman. I think with a week of reps a veteran like Wallace will be good enough with our running game to beat the Iggles.

Packers | Fractured collarbone for Aaron Rodgers?

Mon, 04 Nov 2013 20:01:28 -0800
Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) suffered a fractured collarbone in the first quarter of the Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears Monday, Nov. 4, sources told WBBM Newsradio 780 sideline reporter Zach Zaidman. Originally, the injury was deemed a shoulder injury.

FANTASY TIP: Stay tuned for further information on the injury to Rodgers. The severity of the injury, and how much time he might miss, is still not yet known.

I think they should bring back Flynn, he has a grasp of the offense:http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4949/matt-flynn

So I've accepted that Rodgers could be out for a while. The Packers can win especially if Clay and Perry come back for the Eagles and Seneca or whoever can just manage the game. Having a running game helps. Most importantly, if Clay and/or Perry don't come back this week, the defense HAS to step up. They needed to last night and fell flat. McCown had way too much time, especially on 3rd down. They tried blitzing, but just couldn't get home.

Bears o-line has been very good if I understand correctly.

[Packers4Glory]

what's wrong with flynn is he's been on shitty teams w/ no help. he's not going to make guys better but he'll look decent with guys around him. plus he knew this offense really well.

That may well be true. Hope so. However, it could be that Flynn's success in Green Bay was a product of McCarthy's and Clements' coaching. He might be able to resurrect his career if reunited with them.

[Bossman641]

Schefter is reporting small collarbone fracture. Expected to miss 3 weeks. Let's hope that's all it is.

[Pugger]

If Schefter's report is true we might have dodged a bullet. Of course we all thought Nick Perry would only be out a couple of weeks.

[denverYooper]

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

At least he didn't fumble any handoffs.
