I hate hearing of these types of injuries.. hopefully it turns out well.


Thompson taken to hospital with neck injury 
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel
Dec. 4, 2009 1:01 p.m.

Green Bay - Linebacker Jeremy Thompson was taken to a local hospital via an ambulance because of a "neck stinger" suffered near the end of practice, coach Mike McCarthy said.

"He was taken to the hospital for testing," McCarthy said. "It happened near the end of practice. That's all the information I have for you.

"It happened in a team drill. He went down. We're taking the high side of caution here."

McCarthy was with Thompson while he was put into the ambulance. The coordinators took the team back inside the Hutson Center and completed the practice period to finish practice.

This is at least the third stinger Thompson, a second-round pick out of Wake Forest in 2008, has suffered with the Packers.

Backup tackle T.J. Lang did not practice because of a concussion suffered in Thursday's practice. Chad Clifton continued to be limited with a hamstring injury.

"We'll take the week to get through our injuries like we always do," McCarthy said. "T.J. Lang has a concussion so we're taking the high road on that. I don't anticipate he'll practice tomorrow, so we'll take the week to prepare.

"I thought (Clifton) looked good with his rehab. Tomorrow will be key, how he responds to the individual work."

1: Jesus, what's with all the concussions!?

2: Hope Thompson doesn't have that neck narrowing thing that Terrence Murphy had.

Man, are these guys having some sort of super intense practices or something? WTF!

From what I know, stingers are really painful (name comes from the feeling your nerves give you), but nothing season ending.

Of course I could be very very wrong.

Kind of scary article.

After reading Michael Silver's article about Kurt Warner and concussions, any concussion has me a bit worried. Hope TJ Lang is ok. And of course hope Thompson's stinger is too. I had the same thought Nerdmann had about Murphy.

Greg Bedard - A visibly shaken Kregg Lumpkin said Thompson's injury happened when he attempted to tackle Lumpkin. "I just heard him say, 'Oh no.'" 12-04

Any type of neck injury is a serious injury and I hope this turns out alright for Thompson. I am glad they are taking high precaution with this. As for the concussions, the reason you are all hearing more and more about it this season than any other is because of the rout the NFL has taken with this injury.

I believe everything has passed now and Goodell has every team being assigned a neurosurgeon for this specific injuries. The NFL is not playing around with this injury anymore so anything minor or close to a concussion will probably be deemed a concussion.

Stingers or burners is a compression of the spinal column.

Sometimes it is nothing. Sometimes there is some swelling that takes time to go away. You never know with those. The Packers having him checked at the hospital is being very cautious. I'm not very concerned yet.


The concussion to Lang is more troublesome. Clifton hasn't practiced and Lang is out with all the high profile "concussion awareness" being the big buzz in the NFL right now.

No Lang and no Clifton means Colledge at LT and Dietrich-Smith will play Guard.

The ESPN can bemoan the Offensive Line woes of the Packers this season.

I hope McCarthy is smart enough to put in some Rodgers roll outs to the right. He hasn't adjusted much this season and it has hurt the outcome of a few games.

Clifton has become too unreliable to remain with the team next season.

I dont actually think that there are that many more concussions going on here, though for the packers it seems that way this year. I think what is happening league wise, is that teams are being much more cautious with them than they have in the past, and likely a lot of small things that wouldn't even have been reported as concussions they're now looking at more seriously. Not just teams, but also players i think recognize the long term effects and are more apt to put serious concern into it, and not just throw themselves back in the game as they have in the past.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
