CBS Late

Areas in purple will get Cincinnati at Green Bay. Kevin Harlan and Trent Green with the call.
Areas in pink, including Alaska and Hawaii will get San Francisco at Tampa Bay. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo with the call.

Anthony Belton (ankle) and Devonte Wyatt (knee) are the only two not practicing for the #Packers.

Christian Watson, Zach Tom (oblique) and Aaron Banks (groin) are all in pads.

I know that most fans of most teams probably think their team has worse luck than other teams, but really, how often does a team coming out of a bye week have an injury report twice as long as the opponent's? Sheesh.

I'm mostly worried about Wyatt. Last year he played but was hurt and ineffective, and now he's week-to-week. So if he plays, but he plays like he did when injured/hurt last year, then he's not the player he was the first few weeks of this season, and what was a strength becomes a weakness for this team.

Looking for nose tackles and DT's in the next draft, I'd think.

Bring back Hustling Jack Heflin!

I think we'll see Brinson active this week. He is actually more similar to Wyatt than Stackhouse is. Stackhouse is a NT who had to play in some situations he's not suited for when Wyatt went out.

How was the peyote and what did your football visions say?

No Peyote but a guide in capital reef had me chew on some cactus thingy that gave me a nice little buzz.

Knock on wood: We have had injuries, but not catastrophic season enders. That is key. In previous years when we took it soft all through camp someone would blow a knee within first 2 games....multiple someones even. But there will always be a random luck to it.

Peyotte is a cactus

Apparently Rasheed Walker missed practice with a quad injury and sadly McManus injured his kicking led in practice.

[Teamcheez1]

The injuries keep coming. Next man up will not be possible very soon.
Any much more and this season will lose it’s promise.

[The Shadow]

Why, exactly, do the Packers always have huge numbers of players injured constantly? What is wrong with the training methods?

[bobblehead]

Yes, but he said it wasn't peyote. Something else.

[Joemailman]

R. Walker not practicing could mean Jordan Morgan starting at LT. Could be a Wally Pipp moment.

Ain’t about training, machismo.

Some men are simply born tough. T-Kraft grew up noodling catfish in the rivers of the Dakotas, and is redneck tough through and through (not unlike Bert Favor). Lovemaker grew up hustling “blackjacks and hookers” in the ghettos of Bakersfield, Cali, which hardened him a tons.

Then there’s C-Wat. Spoiled brat who is softer than Michael Sam in a brothel full of hot chicks. Don’t even get me started with the Claymaker, he who used to skip games whenever his hair ain’t pretty.
