I innocently opened up this Brad Jones thread only to find that he's been lost for the season, as of today. Nobody even explained it, so here's the link:

He aggravated the shoulder injury from earlier in the season.

I'm afraid this is not our year. All of these injuries just make me sick. But I will say that so far there has not been a dropoff from Barnett to Bishop, and maybe not from Burnett to Peprah either. And I don't think there will be much of a dropoff from Jones to Zombo or whoever else replaces him. Brad Jones was just another guy out there.

But at this point I'm expecting the injuries to just keep coming. We are already down to waiver wire guys on the DL, and we are getting close to that with the LBs now too. And the season has not even reached the halfway point.

Also, it seems like a bad sign that the guy who some people thought had ended Favre's streak is now done for the season, while Favre will almost certainly continue to play.

The thing that hurts the most is the damage this will do to his longterm development. When guys like Burnett, Jones, and even Finley get put on IR, they missing valuable playing time and experience. This hurts the Packers this year because they were both starters and contributors, but also in future season, due to lost experience. These guys were both improving each week. A lose-lose.

It just sucks.

I didn't hear much about Jones' injury either. Someone needs to confiscate this doll from Burt or whoever else keeps poking us with needles
