Any update on Shields?

Heard he left practice early today and had ice wrapped on his knee... Can't seem to find a transcript from the McCarthy presser either. Really hope it's nothing serious and he's just taking it easy...

Me too, i have a feeling hes going to break one against the bears if he plays.

About one return a game he gets close to breaking out and taking it all the way. He's eventually going to do it.

Hope the coaches are working on getting him to run with intent. He seems hesitant at times but he's a work in progress. It's funny how the Pack are doing so well, and a lot of our players are "a work in progress"

just goes to show you there is raw talent out there that isnt necessarily an early draft pick

The fact that we are concerned about Sam Shields' health in week 17 is incredible.

A few months ago the debate on him was whether he would even make the 53-man roster. He is now a key player both on defense and on the KO return team - and his rise to these positions is not due to injury to others ahead of him on the depth chart (I'm not including Harris because he was not available at the beginning of the year). He has gotten to this point with his natural God-given talent and a lot of hard work during the season to make himself a better player.

I know, it's awesome finding these guys that nobody else wanted and they turn into solid contributors.

McCarthy said today however that he wasn't overly concerned with Shields and that he expects him to play Sunday.

Fingers crossed...

Shields said McKenzie did stability tests on the knee and found it to be in good shape. Shields may undergo an MRI to see if there's a hidden problem, but he insisted there is no way he'll miss the game against the Chicago Bears.
"He said everything was normal," Shields said. "That's crazy, isn't it? He said it could be because I'm not used to a long season, certain parts of your joint might get tired on you. I'll be good for Sunday though. I'll be good."
