THE injury

[woodbuck27]

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

Question: Chris from Marshall, WI

I was at the game on Monday night and have a question regarding injury news. For the fans in the stadium, there was no news regarding injuries and I was wondering why?

Vic's response:

Chris, I’m with you. It’s that way in every stadium in the league because teams don’t want to provide injury information to their opponents. I get that, but what about the paying customer? What about the fans who’ve reached into their back pocket, are sitting in the rain and the cold and are being deprived of information the non-paying customer is getting at home for free from one of the sideline reporters or NFL insiders who’s reporting information it got from the ubiquitous “league source”? Hey, who is this league source and why is he seemingly available only to league media partners? Injuries have become the story of the year. They really have. You can’t tell the story of the NFL without talking about injuries. They have become so important to the story of the NFL that we can no longer withhold information about those injuries without depriving the fans, especially the ticket-buying fans, of information they deserve to know. In my opinion, this is an issue the league needs to address. Improving the game-day experience begins with making sure the fan in the stands gets the same information the fan at home is getting.

GO PACK GO !

4 weeks. This means they'll announce a set-back 3 weeks from now, and IR him in 6

Ya, at this point I am hoping he will be ready for training camp. I suspect they will be "smart" and keep him on the sidelines during OTAs.

Guiness and Patler a l'il heads up >>>

It will all be OK ! All of that loss wasn't on the Aaron Rodgers injury.

Much of that loss to the Bears has to fall on the play of the Packers 'D'. The secondary looked really bad a lot of the time. The Bears 'monsters of the midway' receivers grossly outclassed our 'midget' defensive backs.

As the game went deep into the 4th quarter the defensive line, inspite of many substitutions looked exhausted trying to defend against the run.

Now add in the loss of T.J. Lang and the truth becomes clearer.

Granted a lot of this might have been due to a general sense of panic or letdown with Aaron Rodgers out of the game. No less the team has to learn to step it up overall to avoid anything close to a collapse. Somehow MM has to believe strongly in our much improved running game.

I truly believe that Aaron Rodgers wishes strongly that he could play Vs the Eagles this week. He'll be back ASAP.

GO PACK GO !

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 4m
#Packers are putting Aaron Rodgers timeline for recovery from broken clavicle at 4-6 weeks, but believe it’ll be closer to 4, per sources.

I'm so confused. I thought a clavicle was a musical instrument.

[red]

yesterday it was 3 weeks, today it is 4-6

broken bones usually take 6 weeks, and there is no "oh its feeling good, i'm ready to come back" if he comes back and the thing isn't completely healed and he lands on it again or takes a shot to it, then we're right back to square one and you can kiss the playoffs goodbye

like a-rod said himself, there is no way to speed up the healing process for a broken bone, you just have to sit there and wait for it to heal

he just has to sit and wait until its fully healed.

my father broke his collarbone when he was younger, it was six weeks before the bone started to solidify again

my guess is still closer to 6 weeks

my breaks are working on week 13 and they are still very much broken and apart

If the defense and running game can hold down the fort (uh, and if this team would quit suffering this ridiculous number of injuries), I'd be okay with Rodgers coming back for the last couple regular season games, to knock some of the rust off.

Then go into the playoffs and let it roll.

Bah! A little Skele-Grow (tm) and he should be right as rain by morning

Here is our remaining regular season schedule and it's clearly now one game at a time. The team has to gut it out.

10 Nov 10 12:00PMCST ) Eagles GAME At (H) to the 19th ranked team with a 4-5 record. Now game one and huge to our ultimate playoff hopes.

11 Nov 17 3:25PMCST ) AT Giants ... Away to the 27th ranked team and a 2-6 record.

12 Nov 24 12:00PMCST ) Vikings ... Home game with the 30th ranked team and a 1-7 record

13 Nov 28 11:30AMCST ) AT Lions .... The early Thanksgiving Day game. 9th ranked team and a 5-3 record.

14 Dec 8 7:30PMCST ' Falcons ... 29th ranked and a 2-6 record

15 Dec 15 3:25PMCST ) AT Cowboys ... The 14th ranked team with a 5-4 record.

16 Dec 22 3:25PMCST * Steelers... Home to the 28th ranked team with a 2-6 record.

17 Dec 29 12:00PMCST ) AT Bears... Currently tied with us as the 10th ranked team with a 5-3 record.

As of this time the Giants (away), and home to the Vikings, Falcons and Steelers have a total combined 7W - 25L record and ranked 27th thru 30th. It is one game at a time and not inconceivable that over the next four games we can manage a 2W - 2L record to put us at 7 W - 5 L.

Wins over Atlanta and Pittsburg at Lambeau Field place us at nine wins and on the bubble for a playoff spot.

Getting Aaron Rodgers back after three - four games is a bonus.

GO PACKERS !

Duct tape Red. When properly used it can fix anything!

Shea McClellin with a hamstring injury

I knew there had to be a hamstring involved in there somewhere!

now i should make it clear, i'm a nerd.

So my take away from the injury thread is Red is a nerd. Learn something new eveyday! Now that I look closer I think the glasses of your avatar are taped together!

[woodbuck27]

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

Aaron Rodgers showing improvement

AP Updated: November 13, 2013, 12:07 AM ET


" The ultimate goal is to get back to the 2011 NFL MVP. Rodgers on Tuesday pointed to "small victories" in his recovery, like sleeping through an entire night, and putting socks on without being in extreme pain.

"I haven't given up hope on playing any week. It depends on how I heal," Rodgers said on his radio show. "Obviously this week is probably not going to happen. Not going to happen."

Pressed again, Rodgers said "probably not going to happen."

McCarthy said Monday he thought Rodgers might be a couple weeks away, though he didn't have a specific date."

Comment woodbuck27:

Somehow ........... that seems encouraging.

GO PACK GO !

Lions game.

[Tony Oday]

No Lions game with this o line...no no no. Scott Tolzien can shred that secondary it's just our defense that has to step up.
