Harris' agent Jack Bechta said the 33-year-old veteran had some internal bleeding and the initial diagnosis is that he ruptured his spleen, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

"He would most likely miss the season, it would just depend on the severity," Bechta told the newspaper. "But we don't have any definitive information except there was a rupture. Now we have to get him to a specialist as soon as possible."

And while nothing is definitive, Bechta said the odds of Harris returning this year aren't good.

"There's the snap, Rodgers with a quick drop - in trouble! AND SACKED BY ALLEN! The ball is lose, the ball is lose, and recovered by Kevin Williams! And that's the ball game! Childress and the Vikings FINALLY beat the Packers!"

Hmm, interesting contribution. Harris was cramping up and that is from dehydration as well.

I hope Al is okay.

This is like a Hail Mary pass from mkapp: Our last hope to save Al's season. It's a longshot, but maybe, just maybe....

Greg, I am glad you said Al's season, not our season. 😉

Tramon has done a great job. Al would be a huge loss, but it just means we need to step it up that much more.

I noticed an interesting comment on the original post:

The commenter uses the name ERdoc4Pack, so using my highly tuned deductive reasoning skills, I gather he is a doctor - and a Packer fan.

"This doesnt make any sense. The report is that he had hematuria (or blood in his urine). Well the spleen has nothing to do with the genitourinary system. So he must have a genitourinary (most likely kidney; ureters or bladder) injury as well or the report is erroneous.

If he has a spleen injury, nonoperative management is the norm. The length or inactivity is related to the splenic injury severity. Most data is on kids. One medical paper suggested the grade plus 2 weeks. Considering football is a high impact sport it may be longer by expert standards. Im sure there is not a lot of data on this topic. Splenic injuries are graded on a 1 through 5 scale. 5 being shattered and most likely operative.

Using this medical logic, I would expect him to miss AT LEAST 3 weeks and maybe up to 5-6 perhaps longer (8-10 weeks) depending on national trauma experts opinion. This takes into granted that the blood in his urine report is erroneous and he doesnt have 2 injuries.

Take it for what it's worth, but maybe there's a chance he could return at some point.

I'm still in the belief that if Al Harris was in, we wouldn't have given up that TD late in the game down the side line.

Possibly. Rouse did a great job of not being there to help Tramon.

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that
