TE problem

[Patler]

The fact that he is not playing suggests to me his legal situation is far from clear. Which is to say murky.

It suggests to me that the medical staff has not cleared him. Just because he is eligible to practice or play doesn't mean he is physically ready.

Maybe it's that simple. But it was estimated to be a 4-week injury, and 8 weeks have passed.

sooo, he's right on schedule then to play in a few weeks with our medical stuff

Reggie White is gone, but don't underestimate the healing powers of the staff.

I think Montgomery was originally said to be day-to-day, and he is going on 6 weeks now. That's why I wasn't really kidding in another thread when I said Abbrederis' (or is it Abbrederis's?) prognosis of "several weeks" would morph into season ending.

Did they actually say Monty was day-to-day? Anyone viewing the injury would know better. I thought he was done for the year.

Yup, a few days after the injury they said it wasn't bad, and he would be back soon.

Isn't he the one who practiced a couple days last week, then had to drop out?

[red]

Yup that was him. Looked ready to play, then had a "setback"

[Carolina_Packer]

Unfortunately, if you look at the draft prospects, there is nobody to get super excited about. Of course this is the Packers. They tend to find guys that are not on everyone's radar. Richard Rodgers, Andrew Quarless, Justin Perillo, Kennard Backman...no quite enough. Anyone from the link below that excites you?

Monty definitely has a setback, he dropped out of a practice last week the day after having his first full workout.

I think Quarless has practiced but is not now. So my guess is that he too has had a setback.

I don't think he ever did practice. Has just been doing work on the side.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I'll be surprised if Monty comes back in a game this season at this point.

I'll be surprised if Monty comes back in a game this season at this point.

If Monty and Quarless are not ready to play, let's move on and bring up a practice squad player or sign someone from another team's practice squad.

i believe jarrett boykins is still unemployed

There is a method to my mad speculations. From old reports, Quarless was eligible for the Bears game, but then his hearing (trial?) was scheduled for just a few days later. That lead me to wonder if the Packers don't want to try to integrate the rusty Q back into the offense until they know for sure he'll really be available.
