OH RANDALL....RANDALL...............WHERE THE HELL IS RANDALL ???????????/

[Patler]

see cobb isn't just IR though. if he was then i could agree with you and say, "ok he's gone for the year, lets move on". but that designated to return tag changes everything imo. to me, that means he's coming back at some point. as a fan, i'd like to know when. and if we knew the injury, then we could try to figure out "when" is

and as a fan who has been know to drop a couple hundred on a ticket in the past, i would like to know whos playing that week or next week, so i know if i should buy the tickets for 150 each, or should i wait for the tickets to drop down to 30 or 40 bucks like they did last week. if i'm a seller, i lose huge if i sell a ticket for 30 bucks because no one wants to see a a-rod less packer team only to find out the next day that a-rod is playing and ticket prices just shot up to 250 because its his big comeback game

Cobb was out a minimum of 8 weeks the minute he went on IR, but could practice after 6 weeks. It's a lot like PUP returnees. Until they start legitimately practicing. there is no sense getting excited about a return to the active roster. They can't tell you in advance when he will be reay to practice. That's what healing is all about. Time frames are indefinite.

There might be a possibility for his return, but Cobb is out indefinitely until they tell us differently.

[Patler]

They told us when Cobb went on IR that there was no guarantee that he would return, but they hoped he might be able to. I was pessimistic from the time of the announcement.

[pbmax]

and we still don't know what his injury was

whats the point of the secrecy? its like the team is being run by the KGB

i don't think any team is as deceptive or secretive as the packers are. should we start calling the franchise the "cheese curtain?"

Fractured tibia, we found this out about two weeks ago though this article is more recent. It was erroneously reported at the time that it was the other bone (fibula?).

And while the Packers are not entirely forthcoming on injuries, but they are easily one of the top 5 in terms of amount of information released and its accuracy. No one disseminates more than the Patriots. The Steelers outright lie.

Generally speaking McCarthy might not tell you, but if he does it stands up.

[pbmax]

I am on the side that the public should be told as much as possible. In the Packers case, that stands out even more.

Now, each player can absolutely deny a request to release information, but when the team selectively edits itself which it has done with Rodgers, it hurts the players and team public standing. That can cost money, whether its Pro Bowl voting or jersey sales.

Six weeks of Rodgers maybe being able to play is a bit ridiculous.

So here we are a week later. Wow has it been quiet on the Cobb front.

It's all such a mystery.

It's all so ORGANIZATIONAL.

[Teamcheez1]

I'm beyond the point of caring whether any of these players make it back this season, even if Rodgers makes it back, which I don't think he will. If some how we beat the Bears on Sunday, this team will implode in the playoffs.

I say lick our wounds and start thinking about 2014.

[denverYooper]

They'll have to bring 2 guys onto the active roster to replace Jolly and Bostick. If they don't bring Cobb on, then we'll have a pretty good idea.

If we beat the Bears on Sunday and somehow win this crazy division it will be sweet IMO. It's always a treat to keep the rest of the other three teams out of the playoffs.

I fear Clay may have injured that thumb again and he might join them on IR too.

Back on active roster! Listed as questionable - wonder if you have to make that roster move during regular season and just hoping he can help in potential playoff games?
