Rodgers injured as Packers fall to the Vikings (AUDIO)

October 15, 2017 By Bill Scott

Brett Hundley takes over as the Packers starting quarterback.

The Green Bay Packers held on to back up quarterback Brett Hundley instead of trying to deal him to another team for a high draft pick.  They’re going to quickly find out if they made the right move.

Aaron Rodgers broke his right collarbone after he was driven to the ground by Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr.  The Packers confirmed the injury and said Rodgers could miss the remainder of the season.

The Packers went on to lose to the Vikings 23-10, falling into a first place tie with Minnesota at 4-2 atop the NFC North.

Rodgers missed seven games when he broke his collarbone in 2013, but that was his left collarbone.  This is on the right side which should mean more recovery time.  The fact that the Packers very rarely deal in time tables and almost never say an injury may be season ending while the game is still in progress could be looked at as a bad sign.

Goodson sidelined by concussion

November 3, 2016 By Bill Scott

Quinten Rollins

Quinten Rollins

The Green Bay Packers are without another defensive back.  Demetri Goodson didn’t practice Wednesday and was listed on the injury report with a concussion.  Goodson joins Sam Shields, Damarious Randall, Quinten Rollins and Josh Hawkins, all who have lost time to injury.

Rollins returned to practice on Wednesday but was limited.  He’s already missed three games and there’s no guarantee he’ll be ready to play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

If Goodson and Rollins can’t play, the Packers will be as thin as they’ve been all year.  It would leave the Packers with LaDarius Gunter, Micah Hyde and Josh Hawkins. [Read more…]

Nelson to start training camp on the sidelines

July 25, 2016 By Bill Scott

Jordy Nelson

Jordy Nelson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson has had to wait nearly a year to get back on the field.  That wait will be just a little longer.

According to ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky, Nelson won’t practice when the Packers hit the practice field on Tuesday morning.

Nelson was placed on the physically unable to perform list on Monday after players underwent physicals and conditioning tests.

The report says Nelson will be joined on the P.U.P list by Sam Barrington, Jared Cook, T.J. Lang, Corey Linsley and Ty Montgomery.  They’ll all be on the sidelines for Tuesday morning’s first practice.

Packers Roster Moves

The Packers released running back Don Jackson and DE B.J. McBryde on Monday afternoon.

Jackson was an undrafted rookie out of Nevada.  McBryde played college ball at Connecticut and had been with the Packers since being signed to the practice squad on nov. 18, 2015.

Linsley, Clinton-Dix named All-Rookie

January 14, 2015 By Bill Scott

Corey Linsley

Corey Linsley

Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix have been named to the NFL all-rookie team as selected by the Pro Football Writers of America.

Linsley is a fifth-round draft choice and has started every game at center this season.  He beat out a half-dozen other rookie centers and is the first center from Green Bay selected in the 41-year history of the team.

The Packers selected Clinton-Dix in the first round of the NFL draft.  He joined Johnnie Gray (1975), Tom Flynn (1984), George Teach (1993) and Nick Collins (2005) as an all rookie safety from Green Bay.

Former Badger linebacker Chris Borland was also voted to the team.

Packers say Rodgers is ready to go

December 27, 2014 By Bill Scott

Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers don’t appear to be too concerned about quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ calf injury as they go through a final workout today before facing the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers is listed as probable for Sunday’s game.  Mike McCarthy said he doesn’t have a “very high concern right now.”

Rodgers completed just 59% of his passes for 162 yards and a touchdown in the week 3 loss to the Lions.  But the Packers quarterback has exploded since then.  Last week, he completed 31 of 40 passes for 318 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.

But he’ll need his mobility to be able to stay away from the Lions outstanding front four, led by Ndamukong Suh (8.5 sacks) and Ziggy Ansah (7.5 sacks).

The Lions enter Sunday’s game (3:25pm) with a 23-game losing streak against the Packers in Wisconsin.

Injuries

Both teams are healthy for the most part.  The Lions will play without defensive lineman Nick Fairley (Knee).  The Packers will play without defensive back Davon House (shoulder).

No Raiola

The Lions are also playing without suspended veteran center Dominic Raiola.  They’ll go with rookie Travis Swanson in his place.  How will Raiola’s absence affect the Lions.  That’s anybody’s guess.  Consider the fact that the Packers were facing using a rookie at center to start their season and Corey Linsley stepped in and has played like a veteran.

Packers place Tretter on I.R. – designate him for return

September 4, 2014 By Bill Scott

Corey Linsley takes over at center for the Packers.

Corey Linsley takes over at center for the Packers.

As expected, the Green Bay Packers placed center J.C. Tretter on injured reserve with a designation for return.

The move opened up a roster spot for the Packers, who quickly filled that spot by signing center Garth Gerhart off of the teams practice squad.  The Packers then signed guard Josh Allen to the practice squad to fill the open spot.

Tretter won’t be able to return to action until after eight weeks.  He is eligible to resume practicing after six weeks.

The 23-year-old Tretter spent the entire offseason and training camp working as the starting center before suffering a left knee injury in the team’s third preseason game against Oakland on Aug. 22.

Rookie Corey Linsley takes his place in the starting lineup.

Gerhart is a first-year player out of Arizona State.  He was on Green Bay’s practice squad at the end of the 2012 season and the final 12 weeks and playoff game in 2013.  He originally entered the league as a non-drafted free agent with the Cleveland Browns in May of 2012.

Tretter could miss at least six weeks

September 3, 2014 By Bill Scott

J.C. Tretter

J.C. Tretter

NFL teams were able to start placing players on injured reserve with a recall designation on Tuesday and that could be where the Green BayPackers are headed with injured center J.C. Tretter.

Tretter is expected to miss up to six weeks with a knee injury.  He missed his rookie season with the Packers after breaking his ankle on the first day of OTA’s.

Placing Tretter on the IRreturn list would open up a roster spot for the Packers.  Tretter would be eligible to play after 8 weeks and practice after 6 weeks.

Rookie Corey Linsley will start at center for the Packers in the regular season opener at Seattle on Thursday night.

If something were to happen to Linsley, the Packers would have a number of backup options, one of which would be to move Josh Sitton to center.

Tretter injures knee, will miss multiple weeks (AUDIO)

August 25, 2014 By Bill Scott

JC Tretter

JC Tretter

Center JC Tretter was supposed to be the Packers fourth starting center in the last four years.  Tretter will still get his shot at some point this season, but the 2nd year player out of Cornell suffered a knee injury and will miss what Mike McCarthy said would be “multiple weeks.”

Tretter was injured in the first quarter of Friday’s 31-21 win over the Oakland Raiders but was cleared by the team’s medical staff to stay in the game.  He ended up playing 45 snaps.

Tretter’s knee acted at half time and the Packers re-examined him and put him on crutches.

Rookie fifth-round draft pick Corey Linsley, out of Ohio State took over on Friday and will step in now, to start the season against the Seattle Seahawks a week from Thursday.

The Packers did everything to get Tretter ready for opening night.  He took every snap at center with the number-1 offense and was having a good training camp.  Now the Packers have less than two weeks to get Linsley ready to go. [Read more…]

Abbrederis & Linsley miss workout with injury

August 1, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers practiced today without both of their 2014 fifth round draft picks.  Wide receiver Jared Abbrederis (knee) and center

Jared Abbrederis

Jared Abbrederis

Corey Linsley (shoulder) were both sidelined.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy would only say that Abbrederis had a knee injury and Linsley a shoulder injury.

Abbrederis completed practice on Thursday and stayed after to catch extra passes off the JUGS machine.  He was a spectator during practice on Friday, perhaps a good sign that his injury isn’t one of a serious nature.

Both players are off to a strong start during the first week of training camp.
