Kenny Clark on Covid list. Will not play Sunday.

Edit: some are saying Clark could play if he has 2 negative tests 24 hours apart. LaFleur talked as if he thinks Clark is out though.

A good sign for the Packers that David Bakhtiari and Jaire Alexander are still practicing. No Aaron Rodgers, but he's playing Sunday in Baltimore. Vet rest day for Marcedes Lewis.

Saw Billy Turner, Josh Myers, Randall Cobb, EQ St. Brown and Dom Dafney in rehab area.

He's unlikely to immediately get two negative tests unless the positive was a false positive (very rare for PCR tests, somewhat more common with rapid antibody tests).

League just changed the policy concerning escape from the Covid list, but it requires that the player actually be well enough to play.

Clark might actually be sick.

Who are the backup OL? To start the season we had Patrick, Nijman and Kelly. But with Jenkins, Meyers and Turner out, as far as I can see, we have no one left. Who’s up next??

On a different note, There was a time when we were all looking forward to getting Newman out, but he’s played really well the last 4 weeks or so.

[RashanGary]

Even if Bakhtiari doesn’t start, getting him back would be huge for depth. Same for Meyers. Inside we’re out of backups.

Our OL is one injury away from disaster unless we get our two guys back. It’s crazy that we’re missing 4 of our best 5 lineman and are still playing well.

Newman definitely had his best game last week. Backups at this point are Ben Braden, Jake Hanson, and practice squad guys John Dietzen, Michael Menet and Cole Van Lanen.

I don't know that getting Bakh back would help depth that much because I'm not sure Nijman had played anything other than LT. Getting Turner back would help more because he's started games at 3 different positions. Getting Myers back would help because it would make Patrick available at both G positions.

Yeah, Meyers opens up Patrick inside. I think it would take a week or two to get Nijman comfortable on the right side.

If there’s a perfect game for Cletidus to miss, this one is it.

Due to injuries, the Baltimore Shemales lack the Kung fu to run the rock “traditionally” (you know, like, handing the rock off to the halfback/tailback). Their best rushers are their QBs, and if L-Jax, he whom I ingeniously mocked to the Arizona Rednecks in the last Packerrats mock draft, plays, he might be a bit hobbled.

Witness ole Cletidus chasing after Fields last week? It was like watching a sloth chase after a cheetah. If there’s a perfect game to revitalize ole Capers’ “Psycho,” this game is it.

(For those of you who don’t recall, the awesome Psycho attacks with 5 DBs, 5 LBs - with all 5 LBs standing up - and only a single Yokozuna. One time, out of the Psycho, Capers blitzed ole Samwise Shields from the corner and Cutler immediately threw a pick to, I think, Nick Collins.)

They seem to have forgotten that fact in the first half against the Bears though - so many missed tackles. Is it just me or does it appear that Barry's defense is less complex than prior DC's (Capers and Pettine) and so allows the defense to think less/instinct more and thus play faster?

The biggest difference is Campbell. I can't recall having an ILB who would take on a guard and meet a ball carrier at the line since Brian Noble. There are several other minor differences, but if we don't find a way to re sign him this defense takes a big step backwards in 2022.

If they really think he is a true difference maker they'll get it done. Or they'll draft someone like him high IMO. He has shown to be quite valuable this year.

Seahawks vs Rams moved to Tuesday so there is hope we will get the Packers now. lol
