Green Bay Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji went out of last night's preseason game against the Oakland Raiders with an arm injury that 10 hours ago was being minimized by all reports in the media. This morning things seem different, at least by the tone of one tweet sent out by NFL.com's Ian Rapoport:

Wow! Raji DONE for the season? Our D wasn't going to be very good in the first place...now, this?

Pennel...get ready, kid. Ryan Pickett will be on the next plane, I'm sure.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Agreed. I still don't think he'll be in the starting base D but we'll see. I think Boyd has got the inside track as far as we've heard so far.

We shall see. I think we play faster and stronger without him, but the Pack, in yet another failure, has not contacted me to run the show.

Haven't seen the game, but I would suspect this is a nutritional issue.

Any WR needy team that has an extra NT around?...

Might be able to trade some decent back-up WRs...

If the Eagles cut Beau Allen, maybe look to bring him back to Wisconsin?

Some rumors the Bills might cut Alan Branch for getting arrested...

Browns seem have a number of big DL and have been said might need a WR...

And of course Pickett and Jolly might still be looking for some place to play...

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : I had to manually move three posts.

Mucky Tundra (22-Jul) : But when I go it, Martha's is the last reply

Mucky Tundra (22-Jul) : Still a little screwy; it shows on the main forum that you were the last person to reply to the Jenkins trade thread
