I am shocked.. just didn't look that impactful of a hit.. that said, when it comes to the neck, take no chances. I would rather him sit than risk a further injury.

With the depth we had in camp.. we should be able to replace the position with acceptable depth.. not a Collins caliber but a player that can play.

I hope for Nick's sake that it recovers fully.. and then if it is in the cards, play again.

Terrible news. Hope Collins is okay. We are obviously still awaiting the medical explanation/prognosis.

Any chance they move Burnett to FS so that Peprah can play SS, which he is better suited to among the positions. Burnett doesn't have nearly the speed of Collins (few if any safeties in the league do) but he's still a pretty good athlete. Peprah also has experience at playing the SS from last year.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I hope not, but I honestly think this is a career injury like Jeremy Thompson, you don't mess around with these, there is life beyond football. and I'm willing to bet that Tramon's injury is much more significant than a "shoulder bruise".

This injury really sucks, but I do believe the Packers will have the depth/plans to back it up. Losing a all-pro player is a big hit though...

I didn't think anything that severe was going to come from that small amount of contact, but that just goes to show how fragile the neck could be.

If information is not complete on Sunday afternoon or even Monday night, why is that a problem with the Packers administration? Sometimes it takes a day or two for the dust to settle and for the medical experts to do their jobs. I know we live in an age of instant information, but nothing entitles us as fans to know the extent of an injury before, well, Nick Collins/his family/his coaches/his teammates. Where was the understatement?

We are really going to have to crank up the offense this year to repeat. I never considered Collins a very cerebral player, just a player with enormous athleticism. We definitely lose in this one, but it will be worth it if he sits out and resumes his career. We're not the Vikings, we don't send injured players on the field cause we don't have anybody else.

Better get to work Mr. Capers.

We're ok with Peprah, but the huge thing we lose is that veteran leadership. Burnett is gonna be great, but he's still young. Hell, in a way he's still a rookie, because he hasn't played 16 games yet. Not to mention the lack of offseason.
Collins was a solid, pro bowl veteran who is always gonna be in the right place at the right time. Burnett is good, but I'm just not as confident in him.
I like Peprah, and I think he's solid, but damn. I like MD Jennings though. Looks like we got an open roster spot...
