I hope taking the season off will mean that Collins’ career is as long and dominate as it would have been without the injury, whether he’s with the Packers or not.

I don’t think we’ll see Thompson make any major moves or acquisitions unless one of the guys filling in for Collins gets hurt.

According to this, he does NOT have stenosis. So that's good. VERY good. Still, I don't like how this is playing out. Hope he can play again.

and as far as stenosis goes - errr whatever ... read below

All of these diagnosis are based on an orthopedist's point of view which is - problem = fix with something that is outside the body (like a knife etc) ...

how about they get some peep in there that will treat the body as sacred and heal naturally.

Going to miss collins - damn his SB int was a game clencher.

I get what you're saying, but... has there been any indication that they're going to do surgery?

Is a disc problem even something that will heal naturally?

The thing that scares me the most is "it is to early to tell" that is a huge red flag statement.

Not necessarily. It always takes days to weeks for the inflammation in a central nervous system injury to subside to the point that they can make an accurate assessment of the injury and determine a long-term prognosis.

Again, he's not on IR, therefore he's coming back. That's my denial story and I'm flippin stickin to it!

Edit,

I can tell you what it isn’t: He did not break his neck, he didn’t break his back, he didn’t injure his spinal cord. He was 100 percent OK (Sunday) night, with no numbness. We understand there was some disc involvement, but we don’t know what extent. The team took the step of putting him on injured reserve today, and their recommendation was they didn’t think they wanted to put him at risk for any future injury this year. What that means at this point, I can’t tell you. We don’t have a problem with it.

Right now, we don’t know anything more at this point. Nick has told us he feels fine. We’ll see what kind of damage he’s done to himself with this fluke injury. What is absolutely wonderful is he has absolutely no lingering effects. He has full mobility, no numbness, and that’s what we’re thankful for.

Well that's mighty encouraging at least. Good for him.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I'd rather the guy had a life beyond football. Sterling never played again and we lived.

Man, I'm going to miss the guy. He's truly a beast. Huge opportunity for Burnett to break out though.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (17h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (22h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
