THE injury

[denverYooper]

Scott Tolzien will be signed from the practice squad. They just increased his salary to the minimum if he were on the regular roster. They must like him. He should be more ready to step in than Flynn would be at this point.

This. They're going to dance with the ones they brung. They're going to have to scheme 2 wins in the next 4 games.

If they get Matthews and Perry back in the next game or 2, the D should look a little better and might even get some takeaways.

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

No such thing. It won't happen because I don't think Brett wants to play and TT doesn't really want to bring in a 44 year old. However I could think of more unlikely scenarios. A bridge is never truly burned if 2 sides want the same thing, so If Brett actually wanted to reconnect with the fans and the organization and TT and MM think he is our best chance to succeed you would see that bridge rebuilt in one hell of a hurry.

Wouldn't that be nice!!

Again, in 2008, Rodgers played with a dislocated THROWING shoulder. I don't have any scoop for you, but I wouldn't bet against him. #Packers

OK, who do you want us to be?

We sure as shit ain't the team we were Monday morning.

So we should just jump off the cliff and scream we're no better than one of the worst teams in the NFL? Come on.

I am no Mr. Rand. But I believe this would point to a bone injury. If he dislocated it, it would be an MRI, right?

Uh oh. RT @RobDemovsky: Source confirms Rodgers has a broken collarbone. As for timetable, source said: "It's going to be a little while."

Now before you jump off a bridge. A break in a bone can mean a lot of things. So just stayed glued to the computer before making a decision about how to rend your garments or make a FF trade.

Rodgers said live on radio that his collarbone is fractured but does not have a timetable or prognosis yet.

--At first tried to throw with Wallace to go back out
--McKenzie told him after that he had to go inside for an exam
--While inside, heard McKenzie sending back word to team he was out
--Then took snaps from GVR and threw to Cobb in locker room. Wasn't working.
--By halftime, knew he wasn't going to be able to play

Rodgers getting choked up about reception he got from fans when he came back onto the field (called it a Top 5 moment).

Doesn't sound like he expects to play this week but is unsure what the prognosis will be.

Packers' Aaron Rodgers has small break in collarbone

" Packers backup Seneca Wallace was little more than an Eddie Lacy handoff machine with Rodgers watching from the sideline in sweats.

Expect Green Bay to shop around for legitimate quarterback help with its best player out of the mix.

It's a devastating loss for a Packers team that fell into a three-way tie for first place Monday night with the Bears and Detroit Lions. The much-improved ground game will be leaned on, but there's no way to mask the absence of the NFL's finest passer. Rodgers exited the game with 15 touchdowns and just four picks on the season.

If only Brett Favre were five years younger. "

GO PACKERS !

Rodgers called the injury significant.

[pbmax]

Steve 'Homer' True thinks, given Rodgers serious tone (also referred to "its a significant injury") that he is done for the season.

[CaptainKickass]

I was curious as to timetable for return on a broken collarbone injury, specifically for the Packers as an organization since we know they tend to be ultra conservative with players and seem to hold them out longer than most other teams. So I just looked it up -

When Woodson broke his collarbone in October of 2011, the original estimated time out was six weeks. This is nearly double the current projected conjecture from the sports media of 3-4 weeks.

Woodson missed NINE WEEKS total.

Facts are facts Packer fans. If we don't get MUCH better at QB than we were last night, we won't even be in the playoffs.

CT is needed if the damage is on the medial part of the clavicle or if there is suspicion of damage to the (sternoclavicular) joint. Not clear whether that necessarily means a darker prognosis, but if there is ligament damage and pain is a factor then recovery time would probably be longer.

I suspect that nobody really knows how bad it is, and that they have given him a range, something like "three weeks to season ending depending on what the scans show and how fast your body heals."
