That's really unfortunate. If he somehow makes it back in 6-7 weeks it's not a huge deal, but I'd be surprised if he would be very effective for quite some time even after becoming "healthy." I wouldn't be shocked to see him placed on IR or even cut.

Considering that he played an entire game with this injury, maybe the break is not that bad. Maybe it's just a little crack or something. As long as he can come back by week five or six of the regular season, or somewhere around there, I expect they will give him a chance to heal. There are usually at least a few injured players on the 53 man roster in any given week.

Am I wrong, I thought if a player is on IR to start the year they can't play until after the sixth week? Do they have to count him on the 53 if he's on IR? That would be about ideal timing for him to come back. If they don't have to count him they can keep someone in his place. If this is the worst that happens this year I'll be very happy.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

IR = Season

PUP = first 6 weeks.. however you have to been on the pup before camp.. once camp starts and you have practiced at all.. you are no longer eligible for the PUP list. Additionally I believe it the 9th week that the player either must hit active roster, IR or cut.. I believe it is a 3 week period that they can practice before making a decision..

Yikes. That could be Zombo's season then.

I wonder if Ted Thompson will look to pick someone up. Guess it depends on whether they put Zombo on IR. That really stinks. I think he was playing some good football. I hope this isnt a sign of things to come like last year. Im keeping pawsitive and hope Zombo is back at least by midseason.

"He played Friday’s preseason game against the Cardinals after suffering the injury in warm ups after colliding with fullback John Kuhn."

Alright, no more contact for John Kuhn and any of our defenders.

2. Physically Unable to Perform (PUP)
A player who fails his club’s pre-season physical at the start of training camp may be placed by his club on the Physically Unable to Perform list. A player on PUP is eligible to receive his salary, but he is ineligible to participate in practices or games. However, a player on PUP is permitted to practice with his club and may be restored his club’s Active/Inactive list during a three-week period beginning the day after the sixth regular-season game and ending after the ninth regular-season game.

I think this is from 2008 so it may have been tweaked since. That said, you guys had it right: you have to be on it before training camp and you can be taken off it following the 6th week to start practicing. Wikipedia also says that once you have started practicing again the team has another 3 weeks to be activated so conceivably a player could start practicing 3 weeks after coming off PUP and then wait another 3 weeks before actually being activated.

Well everyone but the fringe player who would be cut.

He played in the game even after getting hurt... that makes me think it's not the worst case injury. And from what some have been saying it's a 5 to 8 week normal recovery time from a normal injury of this type (no idea if that's correct or not.. but assuming it is)... two weeks of preseason makes that 3 to 6 weeks.

To me that doesn't sound horrible for a guy that might of been starting... to keep him around on the active roster as one of the inactice guys to see if he heals fast enough, I'm guessing other teams aren't going to be jumping on the OLBers after Jones so they might make it to the practice squad and if we need one grab one and send someone to the IR.

They have two weeks before the final cuts to see how fast he's healing. If he's healing fast maybe keep him for the season, if he's not healing fast enough then they could put him on the IR right before the final cuts.

beast (12m) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (5h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (5h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (5h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (10h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (12h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (14h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (14h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (15h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (16h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
