MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the Green Bay Packers' 27-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Sun Life Stadium:

Nothing torn: Cornerback Sam Shields limped out of the Packers locker room in pain but relieved that the initial diagnosis on his left knee injury is that nothing was torn. The weird thing about Shields' injury was how it happened. He was lining up in coverage when he went down before the first snap of the Dolphins' final drive of the third quarter.

This is a pattern on this team. Dude falling down in a heap with no contact whatsoever. Their joints just suddenly SNAP! for no reason. Sup wit dat yo?

I'm more concerned about Lattimore and Tramon.

Frankly, we can survive without Shields. Arguably we may be better off with a CB who isn't prone to looking into the backfield too much.

Brad Jones performance today pretty much confirmed he should not be starting. Jones vacates / gets pushed out of his gap too easily, and has problems with missed tackles.

I'd also like to avoid Bush at CB as much as possible. Tramon is pretty sound fundamentally, and probably the best at anticipating routes in our secondary. Hopefully both Lattimore and Tramon will be alright.

Looks like House and/or Hayward will get to showcase their skills for upcoming contracts. Hope Shields can get back soon.

No pattern I see, but you see things that most don't

Does losing Jumal Rolle hurt now? Bush is what he is. I agre with those saying Lattimore hurts more. Brad Jones should be cut.

All of these injuries are bad. They freaking suck. But this is what happens in the game of football. Next man up.

beast (15h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (15h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.
