Here's the latest injury update from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

http://blogs.jsonline.com/packers/archive/2008/08/24/sitton-jones-have-sprained-knees.aspx

Sounds like Jones' injury is a little more serious than expected, as he is week-to-week. Sitton is also week-to-week, but his knee is a little worse off than Jones' knee. Nothing else too bad. The Journal-Sentinel also mentions in another blog entry that Ryan Grant was taking handoffs on the practice field today.

Yup Bozz......in the NFL, any knee injury is bad.
Hopefully there isn't structual damage.

Bad news for the both of them. James Jones because his presense makes the other wide outs better out there. And Sitton because that line is messed up enough already with the injury to Wells. Hopefully they will both benefit from another preseason game..Take it off..and then be ready to go for week one!!

Josh Sitton is our starting G? I didn't know that.

I hope both injuries are not too serious.

Wow, I'm a bit concerned for James Jones. Hopefully it will be temporary and good to go. This is a good opportunity for Jordy to prove his worth, and I'm sure he will.

Sitton had the inside track on the starting RG spot. That's why he started in Denver even though he struggled (along with the other interior linemen) in San Francisco. And that's why Jason Spitz was moved to LG. But the injuries to Wells, and now Sitton, have forced the coaches to do some shuffling. It does look like there is a good chance that Wells, anyway, will be ready for the first regular season game.

Thanks Greg.

Wells, Cliffy, and Tauscher are the only offensive linemen I'm high on right now. I'm really hoping Wells is ready to play against MN.

This article sheds more light on the James Jones injury. Hope this doesn't keep him off the field too long.

packerfanoutwest (53m) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (1h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (1h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?

beast (11h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (15h) : meh

Zero2Cool (19h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (19h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (19h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (23h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (23h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
