Jalen Ramsey torn his MCL earlier apparently.
Could be for Game #1He'll probably be fine, and this isn't Packer related.

We've never really made the distinction in the past and I see no reason to start now.Change the thread title to OT -Jags have bad luck, then you're good.
"Sources said that Ramsey is being told there are two possible courses of surgical treatment -- one that would keep him out four to six weeks, and one that would keep him out four to six months"
That could be significant. Jags are just jinxed at their #1, Fowler last year and now this. They have to be holding their collective breaths on Myles Jack and his knee.
That´s why I would have loved the Packers to take a gamble on Myles Jack.
As you already know, we needed a Kenny Clark more than ILB
There´s no doubt the Packers needed to upgrade the defensive line in this year´s draft as well but the position could have been addressed later in the draft. Passing on a potential superstar in Jack at a position of need is tough to understand.
There was a huge 'x, the unknown' factor with Jack, which is why I was fine with TT not picking him.
I understand Jack would have been a risky pick but one with a huge upside. At some point I would like Thompson to take more chances hopefully resulting in the Packers winning another Lombardi Trophy.

This is the kid who had micro fracture surgery in high school?
Even if he were healthy, I don't know if Jack would have been the pick. He's a fine athlete but looks a bit like an A.J. Hawk clone. Some of the pre-draft brains had him pegged as strictly a 4-3 WILL backer.
At least we can all take solace in the fact that we drafted the player who "set the table" for Jack to excel. And Clark starts out 100% healthy. If it all works out as anticipated, Clark will help to elevate the play of those behind him. If so, that's not a bad consolation prize.Every team in the first round passed on Jack. That is a huge red flag given his potential. I
would have been okay if we drafted him at #27, but would have held my breath every time
he attempted a tackle.
The thing is, the most intriguing part of Jack's performance had nothing to do with Clark, and that is his coverage ability. At the very least, he'll be able to provide some value in the NFL with that. Everything else is unclear at this point.At least we can all take solace in the fact that we drafted the player who "set the table" for Jack to excel. And Clark starts out 100% healthy.

I think he's in a good spot now, in a scheme where he can play as a 4-3 WILL. As an ILB, who knows. If there's a solid NT to keep him clean, he can certainly find himself to the ball, but it will be a major transition going to the pros. But he's certainly talented, and with the general consensus around the league that ILB is not a difficult position to fill, there's reason to believe he could succeed.
