Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga went out of last Thursday night's game with an injured knee — the same surgically repaired knee that kept him out of all of last season — but if he has his way, it won't keep him out of the Packers home opener next Sunday against the New

Over/under is Wednesday after practice.

Maybe he should put on knee braces for support. The replay of his "injury" didn't look too gruesome.

If I remember correctly Bulaga said something about if it were up to him he wouldn't of been IR for the whole season last year ("short term" IR?) ... anyways my point is it's not up to him at this point (I don't think).

It seems like he wanted to play and thought he could play last season too, but the damn medical staff overruled him - that seems to be the way it is in the modern NFL. I wonder how many guys in the past played the whole season with stuff like this or last year a decade or two or three.

It makes me wonder how many kids out there say high school level and below get injuries and don't know about them and/or fight thought and they go untreated for years... and how they might effect the body.

Also kind of wonder if I might of gotten one as some point... because it seems like my knees don't act the same as each other... maybe not from football but from another sport, work or maybe stupid activities I've done...

I think I tore my MCL and pulled a Hammy just watching the Packers play. We seem cursed with these injuries to key positions.

I believe it was Marco Rivera who played a week after suffering a similar injury and then the entire rest of a season. Bulaga is cut from the same cloth, a road grading tough guy. Would not be surprised to see him out there on Sunday.

If he needs a little more time, let him sit this one out. Game plan with Sherrod and give him help. The Packers can still pull this one off, and they will need Bulaga for the rest of the season. Gut Bulaga reasonably healthy before putting him back out there.
