Well I thought they were going to wait two weeks.. apparently it was bad enough to repair it.

Good luck Thumper.

heres to a speedy recovery desmond !!

Pat McKenzie is a surgeon?!? I thought he was an athletic trainer.

Mark D'Onofrio was a 2nd round pick at LB, iirc.

Tore his hammy, never played again. Hope Dez comes back strong as ever.

A torn hamstring is surely a rough injury. I wouldn't hold my breath on him being back this year - could be wrong though. I would rather see him rehab it properly over coming back early and causing more damage.

We will be sorely missing Bishop in his absence. I hope his recovery goes well!

"But no determination has been made about whether Bishop could return this season."

Hrrmph

Oh yeah this guy hits IR quick. I knew it was a tear when they announced the injury. That looked really serious when they carried him out. I wish him the best. This is real tough for a competitive guy like him. 😞

---

Hopefully it's not as bad as they thought, but I'm not optimistic.

---

Is is just my observation,or has this team had an overabundance of hamstring injuries over the last few seasons?

---

Usually, not always, it is an indication of insufficient stretching.

The Packers have had others tear a hamstring and come back the same season.

If he make the team, Hargrove is likely to play before Bishop. He will not come back as effective because he will lose muscle strength elsewhere while rehabbing.

I would say there is a 30% chance he is on the roster, initially. If there are too many injuries then it is more likely he goes on IR.

I remain hopeful.
