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.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

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

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

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?

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 (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

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) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
