2025 Injuries

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!
