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.

    dfosterf (16h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (17h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (17h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (17h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (17h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (17h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (17h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (17h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (17h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (17h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (17h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (17h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (18h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (19h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (19h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (19h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
