Offseason Look at Injured Players

De Moses: All that’s known at this point is Moses has yet to practice since sessions started to be open to the public in May. He hasn’t talked to the media since OTAs began, so his injury is a mystery.

Wow. A mysterious injury at a key position, about which the staff or player refuses to comment? [puke]

There was no known injury to Harris coming into the offseason, so like Moses, his situation is unclear. He also hasn’t spoken to the media to set the record straight.

At least we have some depth at this position.

Neither Charles Johnson nor Kevin Dorsey are practicing either, and mums the word on them too. Makes me want to vomit.

Honestly I don't see the big deal... I wouldn't want people knowing info about me ether. I wouldn't tell the media any non-football stuff if I could help it. Only people that need to know is, them, maybe family and the team.

They got an injury... we'll find out if they're practicing or not once training camp comes around when I think MM has to give out more info. So I don't see this as a big deal.

We will learn about injuries as the practices and pre-season games start. Many of the injuries will probably resolve themselves without most of us ever knowing.

EDIT: It's not so much that withholding injury news gives a team an advantage as much as doing so DEFINITELY doesn't give them an advantage, so what's the point? It's just more questions to answer from a prodding and annoying media. Even though it's frustrating at times, it's completely understandable.

Wouldn't that be a HIPAA violation to disclose personal medical information of your employees?

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

As far as I know they've never even been warned or investigated in regards to their reporting of injuries so your statement of "ours in particular" comes off as a load of bullshit.

You don't even seem to care about what's required of them. You just want them to tell you what YOU want to know regardless of what they are actually required to do which is unreasonable and stupid.

Very little on how the guys that are practicing are looking. It's all been about how they're lining up or one flashy play here or there. Nothing about how they're looking play in and out.

dfosterf (6h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (6h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (6h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (6h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (7h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (7h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (7h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (8h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (10h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (10h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (11h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
