That was expected as they don't t want it lingering all year with him in/out of games.

New reports have Za' Darius out for the season. Even if that's a slight exaggeration, its a huge loss. Gary's production has been about a third of what Z Smith was able to achieve the past two seasons. Pressure is now on him. LaFleur enjoyed two relatively Iow injury years in 2019 and 2020. Not this year! Teams can overcome injuries as long as they aren't to key players. In 2013 and 2017, Rodgers Injuries ruined the season. Last year, the Packers o line couldn't make up for Bakhtiari's injury in the NFCCG. Next man up works if the guy injured is replaceable. How did Z hurt his back? No reports at all about that. Was it in last year's NFCCG? He was already badly hurt by June so it didn't happen in camp.

That’s unfortunate. He’s one of our best Pocket disrupters. Hopefully he’s back by the last Quarter season.
We need to start poking around for veteran help at LB. A trade deal?

Hmmm....thats not good. Heflin up now I think. Burks may be able to fill a role on a rotational D. I think Taylor might fill in well for MVS.

If losing Z you’re looking to Heflin I believe you may be drunk.

I saw Heflin was on the injury report. Looks doubtful for this week.

Not good. Probably will have no impact this season at all. Now we have to look for more help. Just wish we had not spent that money on Cobb. Could have bought someone who could be effective.

Definitely. Unless we want a very suspect pass rush the rest of the season. Mahommes is smiling right now.

I hate to doubt a guy, but based on how Z has behaved this season, I wonder if it’s one of those things where he could have played through it. He has been unhappy, so maybe decided to shut it down and have the surgery instead of playing.

I hate to doubt it also. I am not so sure that trying to come back from this surgery helps his stock. Playing the year and putting up numbers usually does.
Dr have to approve it..I would never fault a guy who needs back surgery

Should he have waited until after the season? If this was the case he probably needed it like 6 months ago but tried to see how he would perform.

With Z starting training camp on the PUP list because of a back issue I wonder why it took that long to realize he needed surgery???
We dont even know the issue, and people are thinking he should have waited?
Its his back. could be a huge problem.
Its his body

The Packers haven't announced Z is out for the season. Let's hope he will be able to return for a playoff run.
No idea what is actually wrong with his back, but it's not a simple thing. many can get past it without surgery, depends obviously, but there is hardly anything that happens in the back that is a surgical fix only. In fact I'd most most of what goes on back there can be "fixed" without. But you never know until you do it. Sometimes it doesn't work. Sometimes it takes too long, sometimes you just change your mind.
we don't even know what's wrong other than it's his "back". could be a lot of things.
