Driver injury?

[BlueBrewer]

Just wondering if there are any updates on Driver's foot?

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I was scanning other forums to find out any extra information that I could and I this guy named Arrigo said that he was running after the game. I have no idea were he got his information from, but I hope he's right.

Here's the link.

That Driver was running lol

[BlueBrewer]

That is good news, but Arrigo's sources have been terrible in the past, hope he's right here.

If the Packers didn't know the extent of the injury until they get the MRI today, why the hell would Driver be running? Gotta love Joe Arrigo.

Arrigo

I have no idea who this guy is or were he got his infoo from, I just thought I would post it.

"running" why did that pussy need a cart to get off the field?

Driver

MRI being done today. I doubt we get the results until late this afternoon.

It does sound made up because even if Driver could run after the game why would they let him risk further injuring himself.

Arrigo is infamous around these parts for posting insider information that always seems to end up false.

Maybe he had to ice his foot after he ran by Arrigo.....

Donald Driver, Green Bay's Pro Bowl wide receiver, likely will miss the Packers' final preseason game with a sprained right foot. Driver sustained the injury late in the second quarter of Green Bay's 21-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.
"It's classified as a foot sprain," said Packers coach Mike McCarthy afterward. "He's in good spirits. We'll have more information tomorrow..."

Driver was injured as he was tackled by safety Sammy Knight after catching a pass over the middle and breaking a tackle for a 12-yard gain. Driver was helped off the field and carted to the locker room.

McCarthy said he spoke briefly with Driver, whose foot was covered with a bag of ice, after the game, and Driver said he "felt pretty good."
Driver finished the game with three catches for 27 yards.

"If he is out, if his injury is serious, definitely the guys got to step up and we're going to be a good football team," said wide receiver James Jones, who led the Packers with six catches for 80 yards. "I'm thinking Driver is going to be all right, sprained ankle or whatnot, and he'll be back. Maybe

Driver's injury is only a scare

By Tom Pelissero

The scariest moment in an injury-filled month for the Green Bay Packers came late in the second quarter Thursday night, when an ankle tackle put Pro Bowl receiver Donald Driver on a cart to the locker room.

Driver sprained his right foot on the play. Coach Mike McCarthy said the ninth-year pro was in good spirits after the game. Driver was to undergo further tests today to determine the severity of the injury, but McCarthy said indications were it's not serious.

Quarterback Brett Favre had left the game before Driver slipped a Terry Cousin tackle and was wrapped up low by Jaguars safety Sammy Knight near the Packers sideline with a little less than 3 minutes to play in the first half. Driver stayed on the ground briefly, then hopped to the sideline and rode into the locker room.

"It's natural to say, 'Geez, I wish I'd have took him out with Brett.' And I did, to myself, and now I'm saying it here in front of a microphone," McCarthy said. "That's part of the game. It's unfortunate. Hopefully, it's not serious."

Driver was not available to reporters after the game.

McCarthy said all week he wouldn't play his starters the customary three quarters in the team's third preseason game, in part to avoid injuries.

Driver was injured on what probably would have been his final series.

The starting offense also lost right guard Jason Spitz, who left after only one drive because of a recurring calf problem. McCarthy said he removed Spitz as soon as the second-year pro reported a problem.

In other news RE: Injury:


Montgomery has scope

Defensive end Michael Montgomery is expected to miss four to six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery Wednesday on his injured right knee.

Montgomery was one of four players to sustain medial collateral ligament injuries against Seattle. His was believed to be the worst, but the scope showed the injury isn't as serious as feared, McCarthy said.

Another reserve end, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, was the most notable among 11 Packers who didn't dress for Thursday's game. He didn't practice this week and is nursing a bruised knee.

McCarthy said Gbaja-Biamila likely will sit out next week against Tennessee as a precaution, as well.

Is it season ending ?
