Tackle Jason Spriggs lasted all of one play in the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He has now joined many a casualty in this Packers’ season and has been placed on injured reserve.

Spriggs injured his knee on that play and, although we don’t know exactly what the injury is yet, it’s obviously serious. This is the second time Spriggs has been sent to IR this season and ironically, the first time was after he suffered an injury after only one play in the season opener. He was just blocking on the special teams unit that time, however, not starting at right tackle.

And as you well know, the Packers’ original starting right tackle, Bryan Bulaga, is also on IR.

So going into the team’s meaningless final game against the Detroit Lions, the Packers will use guard Justin McCray at right tackle. He was originally the starter for Jahri Evans, who was also injured, last Saturday against the Vikings. When Spriggs went down, McCray shifted a spot right and Lucas Patrick came in.

What a shit show this has become!

They have not announced Spriggs injury, but it sounds like it was a bad knee injury... so it's possible Spriggs might miss all of next year... and Bulaga might miss half of the year from his earlier injury. So the Packers are just down to Bakhtiari and Murphy as our only healthy OT depth and Murphy has a lot to prove...

And we need to protect Rodgers next year... so I'm thinking that they need to invest into OT and make sure that has healthy depth or we'Re going to have another screwed season.

Btw, I heard they were gonna (FINALLY) replace that shitty fucking field turf. I wonder how many fewer leg injuries we'll sustain if we go back to natural grass.

And two hopeful development depth... that's good! It's just 3 of them get injured, and I was worried that 2 of them might stay injured for next year and we saying we needed to restock.

Though it sounds like my fears were misplaced, as according to Rob Demovsky, Spriggs does NOT have a tore ACL as feared.... instead he had a dislocated left kneecap and should be ready to go in OTAs.

So next year, we got 3 of the 4 healthy, and hopefully the 4th one will be fully healthy be mid-year. This makes me feel a bit better... of course. Another OT wouldn't hurt. And let McCray focus at OG where he might be able to become a starter.

Yeah because no one is ever injured on the grass field in Chicago. 🙄
And don't forget how great the field in GB was in December and January when it was all grass. But hey, I loved the nice shade of green they turned the ground when it was time for the playoffs.

If you were good with Spriggs being the starting RT to start next year then you should be ok with Murphy doing it. He looked like the better player this year including the offseason.
