Jordy out for rest of playoffs

MM's PC about to start. Maybe we'll here something oficial.

Sounds like good news with Ty Montgomery, who had to miss some time Sun for the Pack, but not as optimistic on Jordy Nelson

Not official, prior to press conference.

Mike and Mike are reporting it apparently. I have mixed feelings on the hit. It didn't seem particularly dirty but it did seem unnecessary. Dang, that is a serious injury.

Weren't you going on and on weeks back about how dirty it was when Barbre put Clay on his ass?
A shoulder to chest block is certainly cleaner than spearing a guy in the ribs with the crown of your helmet.

Jordy Nelson spent last night in the hospital after his rib injury but has been released. Coach Mike McCarthy said Nelson won't practice between now and Friday but will try to practice Saturday. "If he can practice on Saturday, then he has a chance," McCarthy said. "If he doesn't practice, he won't play."

I'm air-mailing a bottle of this to Green Bay ASAP.

Well that's great news. If he can't go this week - seems like he's not out for rest of playoffs. Maybe they were being cautious? Bruised rips or spleen kinda deal?

Great news. Sounds like cracked ribs or something that could heal before SB. Better than "lacerated spleen"

Going on and on? I don't think so. Barbre hit on Clay was dirty since he was blindsided. This is just football. I am not so sure that he led with the crown of his helmet. It is an unfortunate play - just shoving the guy hard would have had the same result.

Might need some protective armor.

When a heavy lid of low sky
covers a soul moaning with ennui and fright,
and the whole horizon is rounded by
a black day pouring down, sadder than any night;

When the earth is turned to a muggy dungeon
where Hope is the shadow of a bat, feeling
with feeble, flapping wings along the grunge on
walls and bumping its head against a putrid ceiling;

When the crawling spiders of scattershot rains
drop cold bars that imprison us,
water trickles along the channels in our brains,
and the people around us feel poisonous—

the bells speak out suddenly with fury
and lance the sky with dreadful howls,
and frightened strays and exiles, sorry
and homeless, rage from deep within their bowels.

Long hearses roll, slow, silent, hypnotic,
through my soul. Hope, defeated, cries
out its atrocious anguish—despotic.
A black hood slides over my ferocious eyes.

sounds cautiously optimistic.

Crazy that he *could* practice on Saturday. I'm not betting on that, but a far cry from initial reports.

[red]

initial reports were complete and utter bull shit

i even heard at one point on the radio that he had broken rids, a punctured lung AND a lacerated spleen

all of it comes from one guy, who didn't exam jordy, saying it could be anything including those things

[QBME]

sounds cautiously optimistic.

Or they could be playing coy, making Dallas spend time planning on the possibility of Jordy playing. On the bright side, if he did have a lacerated spleen or collapsed lung I doubt he would have been released from the hospital. I'm no MD, but common sense.

Steve Young played in a couple of games with broken ribs, taking the needle and wearing a flak jacket, but he didn't have to run routes and take hits.

sounds cautiously optimistic.

Actually sounds better than that. I mean, if they are saying he intends to try to practice Saturday, then this just has to be a bruised something, cracked, or broken or lacerated would require a much longer treatment time. Signed, Dr Oldguy
