I'm pleased that Aaron Rodgers expects Jordy Nelson and Jared Cook to be back soon, but for some weird reason, I have far less optimistic expectations. How do you all feel?

If they expect those two receivers to be back soon, then I guess that's what we should expect. Any player can be lost for the season on any play, even in practice. So I guess having "far less optimistic expectations" has more to do with you than reality.

Something seems especially fishy about Cook's situation.

We will see them when we see them. If they are about to come off the PUP, great.

The first 12 games of the season don't really grab my excitement or interest all that much. If players start missing games that last quarter of the season, that's when I get concerned.

Missing practices? Nah, I'm not concerned. I think Clay Matthews missed his first entire exhibition seasons and I believe he has turned out okay. I'm just not that optimistic about them coming back for practice because I've seen too many players dance around skipping practices and still show up when the games count.

Fact is Green Bay's TC started a week or so early, so they're probably just holding these guys out for that reason. But we've seen guys with ostensibly minor abrasions miss entire years and even have their careers end. We've been snake bit. We do not know what to expect, at all.

We got an extra week of practice and haven't even started the "regular" preseason yet. I'm not too worried about it, especially with Jordy. He just needs enough time to get confident on his knee other than that I don't care to see him in any of the fake games anyways.

The offense hasn't exactly been lighting it thus far.

dfosterf (4h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (4h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

Mucky Tundra (5h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (8h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (9h) : 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?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

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?
