That's right, one of the Packers top guy tore their achilles playing basketball... the guy is Matt LaFleur.

Of course LaFleur is expected to get surgery and tough it out by coaching from a cart the rest of OTAs.

According to Michael Silver of NFL Network, Packers coach Matt LaFleur tore his Achilles while playing basketball Wednesday night.

The 39-year-old LaFleur will have surgery on Sunday, and will obviously be less-than mobile as he begins his first season with the team.

It will be interesting to see what accommodations they have to make for him, as his rehab will be considerable. He’ll be in a cart during the rest of OTAs.

Beast your a jerk. For 1/100000000th of a second I thought was a player. Then I realized if it was it would have said so in the title.

Mike Ditka broke his leg during training camp and rode around in a golf cart. He had a ball roaring down the sidewalk and watching people dive out of the way. One of the PH member's dad was an old fart in a golf cart and they had fun together. The old curmudgeon told Da Coach he was a Packer's fan and he thought Mike was an SOB. Mike laughed and told him he was right. The bares were in Platteville in the 90's weren't they?

LaFleur is a top guy, top of the Packers' coaches at the very least.

Though not sure if thing is a continuation of the injury problem, or if this is breaking the curse in some respects.
PS: No it's probably not a curse, just football and some bad luck.

Matt will be walking normally 3 weeks after surgery, so this shouldn't affect much hopefully.

I'll bet he stresses stretching more than he otherwise would have. Perhaps we will have fewer hammy and groin pulls?

As I stated in the other thread about this, I read that it should only take about 3 weeks after surgery for him to be walking normally (see: Gingerly) again. So by training camp he should be in good shape to do his job unaffected. Might be a while before he plays basketball again though.
