Green Bay --- A relatively injury-free training camp took a bad turn for the Green Bay Packers Friday night against Oakland.

NEVER believe a word out of the Packers mouths on injuries until a day or two after they happen.

As much as I thought Raji was a total slug he seemed to enjoy being back at NT and playing on a one year deal. The incentive to show he was a great NT was working for him.

Mike Pennel. Can this guy do it for us? What a cinderella story if so... from Colorado-Pueblo? This guy might be the key to our fortunes on not being one of the worst D's in the league. Just a disappointing piece of news out of Packer land.

Please, delete the Lombardi Ave topic... I didn't intend to create that one.

I don't know what people expect who demand medical information sooner than a day or so after an injury. It's not likely to be accurate no matter who it's coming from. It's possible it isn't a season ending tear also but we still have big bodies like Pennell and Boyd and Pickett is still out there.

It sounds like it's going to be a season ending injury. It's too bad. As average as BJ Raji may have been at times, the Packers are worse without him. Maybe there is some chance he could return later in the season, but he probably wouldn't be the same player that quickly, anyway. Unfortunate.

Boyd played some nose last night...I saw him there... I didn't focus much on him but when I did I wasn't impressed with him as a nose. Where has Thornton been? Another Carl Bradford? Can we get some young impressive kids in Green bay who aren't UDFA's?

Ryan Picket needs to be on speed dial. Platoon him with Boyd and Pennel and we should be able to get by I think. Johnny Jolly might also be an option as I think he has more than enough bulk to man the nose.

I expect to see Pickett at Lambeau anytime.

I'm positive Ted will be checking the waiver wires the next couple of days, but don't think there would be anyone that could be better then Pickett who gets released.

Khyri Thornton, where art thou?

Well by God if it was tweeted on the internet then it must be true.

My guess is we'll turn to the waiver wire when teams make their 1st cuts... better crop on 2nd cuts, but we have to get someone in ASAP...or maybe Ted Thompson is not worried because "he likes the guys he's got".

Maybe, he'll pull the rare act and deal someone like Nick Perry for a NT?

Schefter has reported Raji is OUT FOR THE SEASON... sucks that it is actually torn...he could've played if it wasn't.

Packers NT B.J. Raji is out for the season, as many suspected, with a torn bicep.
