That's right, one of the Packers top guy tore their achilles playing basketball... the guy is Matt LaFleur.

Of course LaFleur is expected to get surgery and tough it out by coaching from a cart the rest of OTAs.

According to Michael Silver of NFL Network, Packers coach Matt LaFleur tore his Achilles while playing basketball Wednesday night.

The 39-year-old LaFleur will have surgery on Sunday, and will obviously be less-than mobile as he begins his first season with the team.

It will be interesting to see what accommodations they have to make for him, as his rehab will be considerable. He’ll be in a cart during the rest of OTAs.

Worried we'd have to put him on IR and bring back McCarthy. 😁 😁 😝

Beast your a jerk. For 1/100000000th of a second I thought was a player. Then I realized if it was it would have said so in the title.

Mike Ditka broke his leg during training camp and rode around in a golf cart. He had a ball roaring down the sidewalk and watching people dive out of the way. One of the PH member's dad was an old fart in a golf cart and they had fun together. The old curmudgeon told Da Coach he was a Packer's fan and he thought Mike was an SOB. Mike laughed and told him he was right. The bares were in Platteville in the 90's weren't they?

LaFleur is a top guy, top of the Packers' coaches at the very least.

Though not sure if thing is a continuation of the injury problem, or if this is breaking the curse in some respects.
PS: No it's probably not a curse, just football and some bad luck.

Matt will be walking normally 3 weeks after surgery, so this shouldn't affect much hopefully.

I'll bet he stresses stretching more than he otherwise would have. Perhaps we will have fewer hammy and groin pulls?

As I stated in the other thread about this, I read that it should only take about 3 weeks after surgery for him to be walking normally (see: Gingerly) again. So by training camp he should be in good shape to do his job unaffected. Might be a while before he plays basketball again though.

Martha Careful (31-May) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?

Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks

dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
