Packers lose rookie TE Deguara to torn ACL

October 7, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers lost their third-round draft pick, TE Josiah Deguara to a season-ending knee injury in Monday’s 30-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field.

Deguara was hurt while blocking on a punt and had already missed the two previous games with an ankle injury.

“Unfortunately, it looks to be a pretty bad one,” coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday,  “So, you know, I hurt for Josiah.  I love what he’s all about, the mentality he brings and he’s certainly somebody we were really excited about.  And it’s been a little bit of a roller coaster because in terms of I thought he had a great game vs. Minnesota in Week 1, and then he goes out with an ankle injury, you know; it’s just been, it’s been tough.  But we expect him to bounce back from it and we still think he has a really bright future in this league.” [Read more…]

Clark returns to practice with Packers

September 25, 2020 By Bill Scott

Kenny Clark

The Green Bay Packers defense got some good news when nose tackle Kenny Clark returned to the practice field on Thursday, paving the way for him to potentially play on Sunday night in New Orleans against the Saints.

It’s possible the Packers could wait a week to bring Clark back, but it’s still an encouraging sign after Clark suffered a groin injury in the Vikings game and missed last Sunday’s contest against the Lions.

Veteran wide receiver Davante Adams didn’t practice for a second straight day on Thursday, but coach Matt LaFleur said this week that Adams could not practice all week and play on Sunday if he is ready to go.

Rookie tight end Josiah Deguara was held out of practice on Thursday with an ankle injury.  He took part on a limited basis on Wednesday.

Saints fans are limited Sunday

The New Orleans Saints has planned to have fans for Sunday night’s game at the Superdome, but concerns over the spread of COVID-19, those plans have changed.

The plan now is to allow up to 750 family members of players and staff to see the game in person, which means the Packers catch another scheduling break.  It’ll be the second time in the first three games that the Packers will have faced an opponent in a domed stadium and won’t have to feel the affects of loud crowd noise.

Packers 2020 draft class ranks among the NFL’s worst

April 27, 2020 By Bill Scott

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst

After the dust has settled, the Green Bay Packers 2020 NFL Draft class ranks among the worst in the league and still has Packers Nation shaking their heads at what transpired over the weekend.

A record 37 receivers were selected in a receiver rich draft, but none of those 36 went to the Packers, who entered the draft needing to add help on the outside to improve the arsenal with which Aaron Rodgers has to work with.

The Packers traded a 4th round pick to move up from 30th to 26th in the first round and selected Utah State quarterback Jordan Love.  General Manager Brian Gutekunst had given us some clues over the previous three weeks that he would at least consider such a move.  We all shook it off as a smoke screen, because the Packers have Aaron Rodgers under contract for the next four years.

The scenario was similar when the Packers used the 24th pick in the first round on Aaron Rodgers back in 2005, when Brett Favre was still going strong.  But that move turned out alright, so we move on. [Read more…]
