The Green Bay Packers are dealing with more hamstring injuries than any team in the NFL. Is there a larger issue that coach Matt LaFleur has to consider?

Medical staff issue or a problem with the reduced workout schedule thanks to the bargaining agreement (guys ramping it up too fast too soon)?

If it was the bargaining Agreement it should be effecting all teams equally.

This disgusts me, it is a huge letdown, and I am considering it to be an institutional failure. Can we adopt a stretching program? Whete's Tramon's yoga instructor? She still in the area?

Do we need to call up Bo Melton or one of these speedsters to threaten the Bears deep?

I mean, the article said there's 24 hamstring injuries atm, that's nearly one per team.

Official NFL Injury Report for Players 

Half the listed players with hamstring as a designation are WRs followed by DBs with a few LBs and RBs for good measure. Might be WR is just harder on hamstrings?

And hasn't the NFL had a spike of soft tissue injuries early in the season the past decade? Or maybe I'm misremembering something.

We as Packers fans have been saying for more than a decade that GB leads the league in hamstring pulls. At times it seems to be true but then I see other players on the shelf too. I read their fans claim that their team has the most.

Texans and NYG both have 3. Chargers only have 2 injuries. Both are hammies. I'm sure their fans feel like they are the jinked ones.
I looked at last year Week 1. 18 hamstring, 5 groin, 2 quads. None for GB. Bak and Jenkins knees and Lizzard King's ankle.

As Mucky said 22 hammies this year. 2 groin and 1 quad.

In 2021 13 hammies, 5 groin and 0 quads. 1 for GB. (Vern Scott)

So it looks like it's about the same.

I wonder why they ruled out Watson so early…I would think they should make him a “game time decision” so the Bears still have to game plan for him.

No one called up from PS yet. Reed can get deep. Doubs too, if he's not hurt.

Because they have to list the injury reports to combat gambling issues, and with the NFL actively getting into those gambling fields and taking money from working with them, those injury reports better be correct or the NFL will fine the teams faster than AJ Hawk giving people the middle field on live TV (even though it was his own teammates in a playful way).

But that's also why they have dumb down the injury reports to just three options, because when they had four it was too complex and some star players were listed as probable (which is no longer an option) and then where out.... which caused the NFL to get kickback and they went into red alert and hounded the teams and made the injury report simpler, and harder for teams to screw up.

But yeah, in theory, they could of listed him as doubtful instead of out. But if the NFL for some reason found that he was actually out, and they didn't rule him that way the Packers would be in deep trouble.

It happens, It's The NFL!!!!

The fact that Gute and ML decided to bring a safety and rb from the practice squad , instead of Melton and/or Dubose tells me they are confident with the guys who are healthy.

Go to any social media outlet and you will find a fan from any team who is saying "here we go again", thinking they are the only team with early season injuries.

This game is going to be won in the trenches, The Packers are better on both sides of the line.
I still like The Packers chances, even if there are 3 rookies wr's on the field.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PANIC!!!!!!!!!

This might not be the appropriate thread, but when I tried to add a new thread, the system nixed it.

When you have an older team, injuries should be more prevalent. With the youngest team in the NFL, we should not have as many injuries.

Yes
Concussions are unavoidable.
Broken bones are unavoidable (including lisfranc).
Contusions....are unavoidable

Pulls, strains, and other soft tissues should largely be avoidable, especially with a younger team.

I am going to go 'there'...
*I think our training staff and stretching routines must be wrong or poorly adhered to AND/OR
*I think we are soft (as our run blocking would further testify)

Further if we were 5-2, these guys would be playing as they would find a way to tough it out. But I believe the mentality of some players is "I am not 100% and we aren't good, so why should I lay it out there"

I have seen it at a high school level often on my husband's teams and son's teams. There are guys who just won't play though much pain and there are others who are warriors...and I think I am seeing that here. I think our pansy to warrior ratio is way too high.

Call me a bitch if you'd like...I don't care....but I don't like what I am seeing.

Go Packers!!!!
