Oh, that was his idea that the Packers forced Nick Collins to have surgery? My mistake then as I read it as he was stating a fact.

Uffda said many times once the season starts, he goes into hibernation. If you read what he said, you would know this. Your bromance for the guy is starting to cross a border of being gross. Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course. 😁

Nick Collins made the decision to have the surgery. If you do not know facts, maybe stop spouting off as if you do? I really don't know why you have this annoying hatred for the Packers medical staff, but you really do not have any idea what you are talking about. Focus on things you know, like, teams self shitting for example or perhaps a lull or two.

Meanwhile I've seen hundreds of "disc bulges" just like that get successfully treated without any surgery whatsoever. Therefore I conclude that the team doctor is incompetent and does not know wtf he is doing.

We have to stop thinking we are entitled to medical concerns of athletes. Know your role and accept it is not your business.

To reiterate, he could have just gotten rid of the bulge. It's not difficult.

Those were not the expectations. Those were mere hopes. If the guy wanted ANY CHANCE at playing again, he had to have the surgery. It is critical to understand that phrase -- ANY CHANCE -- here. It does not mean he was expected to return to the field. It does not mean he was immediately cleared once surgery was over. No, nothing of the sort. It means for the player to have had ANY CHANCE (widely acknowledged as slim) the surgery was necessary.

A lot of athletes are posed with the option of retire or have surgery and work your ass off to get back on the field. ACL for example. You can recover from that and live a normal non-athlete life, but if you want ANY CHANCE of playing again you are better off to have the surgery.

Normally it hasn't hurt Ted Thompson or the Packers but it did seem to tick off or piss off CB Jumal Rolle, who might of been ticked off before that, as he seemed (according to a number of fans) seemed to out play CB Goodson, and they kept Goodson, and didn't bring up Rolle when they had a free roster spot, so when he got an offer from the Texans, he was gone (even though rumor has it the Packers then offered a roster spot to him as well).

But if there is basically a free spot, I wouldn't mind locking up DL Gaston or TE Perillo (or someone better if they like someone more). Packers could also use more depth at TE, LB and S with possible injuries making those spots slim of healthy players.

It's possible they're doing tests that will affect what seems to be the inevitable. But I think its just a stall until they decide what to do w/ the roster spot.
Ted Thompson may have made an error last year moving Mulumba to IR too quickly [leaving us w/ 52 on roster] because for a player to qualify for a 3rd year on practice squad the team must have a full roster the entire time the guy was on PS. It's hard to believe Ted Thompson would have goofed like that, so maybe the roster has to be at 52 for more than 1 week and/or to qualify for those newly created 2 practice squad spots the 52 roster thingy doesn't matter.

And as Beast points out, if you have an open roster spot, all 10 guys on the PS might get pi$$ed and/or feel the club doesn't value them at all.
