2025 Injuries

[OldSchool101]

LVN only has missed one game I’m pretty sure no?

Yes that sound right. He went out after his Sack the previous game.

Since this seems to be the place to talk about injuries, Tucker's injury brings up an interesting question and similar to the one we faced with Warson.

Tucker has 1 more year on his rookie deal. How does the injury effect that? Had he stayed healthy and continued playing so well, the Packers probably do as they always do with star players, with 1 year left, give him a new deal.

Now what? Guessing Tucker might be back by next Sept. but that all depends on how bad the damage was, how the surgery goes and how the recovery is.

IMO, you can't resign him now, unless his agent offers up such a great deal, you can't pass it up. Such a deal should not include much in guarantees. I guess what I am saying is, Tucker's injury probably cost him some big dollars, in the form of a new deal. That said, if his recovery is successful, I can see giving him that new big deal, mid 2026 season.

So the window to start negotiations was once the new league year starts, now that is likely tabled UNLESS for security reasons Tucker's camp would want to do something like Watson essentially do one year extension, get some money upfront and not have to rush back worried about fiscal reasons for that. I could really support that approach in a big way....it also would stagger or push his ultimate timing of a decision off of what now has Watson, Reed, Wicks, Musgrave, Kraft just for playmakers

These kind of injuries can have a profound effect on his return. He may lose a step or he may turn into Bahktiari. So we should not commit until we see how he returns.

Yes. Just went through similar with Watson, so maybe a similar pathway there.

The good news with Tucker is that he is only 25, he has a much better shot at coming back just as strong, as a 30+ year old offensive tackle, with a lot of milage already on his tires.

Yikes, when I looked up Tuckers age, I noticed that yesterday (3rd) was his B-Day. What an awful B-Day for Tucker!

It's a broken leg for Jenkins...

His career in GB is done.

It was what they speculated last night. Jenkins probably played his last snap as a Green Bay Packer. Someday he will be back for Old Timers weekend. Wish him well after his recovery.

Hate that for him, even though it seemed he was out regardless after this year this kinda locks that in unless he literally does an extension that gives him extra year of security and literally spreads his next year cap across two years with next to no guarantee.

 

[El Guapo]

What pains me is that we had a pro bowl guard and played him at all kinds of other positions because he was extremely skilled, but never let him just be a really good OG for most of his career.

I feel bad for the guy.

 

[AKCheese]

Well he’s getting his $11.5M for this year. No way GB pays him his contractual $18.5 M for next year. He’s only 29, should get a decent deal somewhere and a $6M cap hit on us for 2026? I read somewhere that we have $11.5M in cap space right now. If so can we release him now and absorb that hit?

Damn .... Friendly fire too

Often a bad event is a means to a breakthrough for another player. While it’s not how you want to dial up the end of Elgton in Green Bay, in a way ot forces GB to get a good look at their alternatives.

Elgton was playing at around Josh Myers level at Center. He’s serviceable but imo very replaceable. So there’s a moderately good chance that we don’t lose any significant level of performance here. Yet a benefit is another player gets those snaps and snaps = experience. Might as well find out what we have now.

Whatever we’ve been fielding has been shaky at best in the run game. I was suggesting on another thread that we should shake up the OL because it’s not working. Now I didn’t intend for an injury, but this is our chance to reformat our OL. Often dear of our comfort zone deters us from getting better.
Josh Jacobs deserves better than this imo. You get him going at 4.5-5.5 per carry and you won’t need to lean on the Pass as much.
