Really? A multiple week injury now becomes a 10 week injury? It happened 11 days ago, and instead of him coming back on or around 9/30 now it'll be 11/08? Why bother, just IR him. Zero game snaps in '13, zero games snaps until 11/09 at the absolute earliest...
Really, REALLY need to get Garth off of that PS and onto the 53, then.
An in-game injury to Linsley means that Lang (RG) gets moved to OC and Taylor enters at RG... leaving both positions weaker. Let the musical chairs (positions) begin...
Maybe that's the reason he's going on IR.Really? A multiple week injury now becomes a 10 week injury? It happened 11 days ago, and instead of him coming back on or around 9/30 now it'll be 11/08?

I am constantly amazed at how little tolerance there is for injuries amongst the madden crowd. In the modern era of the NFL, Not getting injured is a crapshoot. Some guys are lucky and some are not. Bishop had a guy fall on his a Achilles. Collins and Finley got hit in the head, Sherrod had a guy fall on his leg. Pity the Rams (my old team). It's just a part of this game. Everyone gets injured it's just how bad. Sometimes your the bug and sometimes your the wind shield.
TT Knows how to manage every contingency. They have an in season board. You play the hand your dealt.

So, you've examined the patient and seen the xrays? Was it a fracture associated with a patellar subluxation? Or was it a subchondral fracture associated with a direct blow to the patella? If it was a subchondral fracture, how much of the patellar surface was involved? A few millimeters or over a centimeter?? Just wondering, since the treatment of various "fractures" varies with the mechanism of injury, and the extent of injury; and the time to recovery is associated with those variables as well. I'll trust the people who know the injury and are taking care of the injury.
These aren't cars getting quotes at the shop. You can't pull off the intake manifold, write down the parts list, and give a precise repair quote. Often times with human injuries, you need to wait for the swelling to come down before getting a better estimate on recovery. In addition, xrays and images are often sent out to experts to examine and offer additional diagnosis.
Just like EVERYONE in this forum, I sit in on all position meetings, spend the afternoon in the training room AND join in the coachs' strategy meetings every evening. I also arrive on game day, help tape ankles, warm-up with the special teams AND carry MM's spare headset on the sideline. Ask asinine questions, often?
Asinine statements require questions. Agree?
You have some stats to back up that we are the most oftly injured team? Have you ever had a major injury? there is no set timeline on recovery, there are only estimates since injuries recover at different rates for different people. They had no responsibility and in fact may not have had an accurate diagnoses of the injury until the initial inflammation went down. Maybe they just decided it would be more prudent to give him that extra time since he's in a position where the knees are the workhorse and they wanted to clear a roster spot to get a backup center on the 53 in the mean time. This is the NFL, people will get injured, period. Bodies fly and take hits from all directions. I am just tired of the same old Whining about our injuries and how the training staff is responsible. You think that TT would have any hesitation firing people if he thought our injuries were do to incompetent people?
I actually do. According to Football Outsiders, who generates their Adjusted Games Lost metric after each season, here is how the Packers ranked according to the years that I could mine out of their website last year:
you missed my point entirely but continue on the rant, its entertaining...
