As the Green Bay Packers plan for the return of several injured players this week, they're losing another to a significant injury.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that linebacker Brady Poppinga has a torn meniscus in his knee. Poppinga was scheduled for surgery Monday morning, after which the Packers will determine his rehabilitation time. Poppinga started Sunday's game for injured linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring).

Meanwhile, coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that the Packers will open a practice window this week for three players currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Cornerback Al Harris, safety Atari Bigby and running back James Starks will all participate Wednesday in practice.

They are technically eligible to play as early as Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings, but it's unclear if any of them will be ready.

"It's time for them to get into football activities and find out exactly where they are," McCarthy said.

With this window open, the Packers now have three weeks to activate each player to the 53-man roster. If not, they will be ineligible to play this season.

Francois was getting more of a pass rush than Poppinga was, which isn't really saying anything at all. Sucks to lose another player though..

Since you haven't already established reliability within this site, I think it's the smart thing to do to provide sources. I mean, I could post a thread called "Brett Favre died of prostate cancer", but without a link, that thread is worthless.

Listen to the Fin Jon. Everything needs to be cited and link provided to the source if it is going to be considered creditable. If nothing else it is the polite thing to do to help others find and read the story.

A story provides details that a title omits. That's not an opinion, that's just how titles are meant to be. A title is a teaser of the story.

You gave the teaser, but not the story.

You're probably one of those freaks who once a girl upzips your trousers, you say 'ok ok enough!' instead of letting her do her thing.

I think (and I speak for myself here) I'd rather have the tease and details. 🙂

Might be a blessing in disguise.

I don't wish any harm on Poppinga. He sounds like a great guy when he's on the air, on The Colledge Experience etc. But he's just such an average player all around.

I think that it might be better to go out and hope to just find that gem. Rotate our rookies and see what they can do. They might be worse than Brady's mediocre play in coverage, but at least we might get a pass rush going.

It's just more depth that has been sacrificed to the injury gods. At this point it almost seems like we're in a race to see how many players we can IR before the end of the year. Anyone know the record?

Zero2Cool (35m) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (35m) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (36m) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (36m) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (36m) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (42m) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (1h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (2h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (2h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (2h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (2h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (2h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (3h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (9h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (11h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (12h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (14h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (18h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (18h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (20h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
