As the Green Bay Packers plan for the return of several injured players this week, they're losing another to a significant injury.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that linebacker Brady Poppinga has a torn meniscus in his knee. Poppinga was scheduled for surgery Monday morning, after which the Packers will determine his rehabilitation time. Poppinga started Sunday's game for injured linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring).

Meanwhile, coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that the Packers will open a practice window this week for three players currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Cornerback Al Harris, safety Atari Bigby and running back James Starks will all participate Wednesday in practice.

They are technically eligible to play as early as Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings, but it's unclear if any of them will be ready.

"It's time for them to get into football activities and find out exactly where they are," McCarthy said.

With this window open, the Packers now have three weeks to activate each player to the 53-man roster. If not, they will be ineligible to play this season.

Francois was getting more of a pass rush than Poppinga was, which isn't really saying anything at all. Sucks to lose another player though..

Since you haven't already established reliability within this site, I think it's the smart thing to do to provide sources. I mean, I could post a thread called "Brett Favre died of prostate cancer", but without a link, that thread is worthless.

Listen to the Fin Jon. Everything needs to be cited and link provided to the source if it is going to be considered creditable. If nothing else it is the polite thing to do to help others find and read the story.

A story provides details that a title omits. That's not an opinion, that's just how titles are meant to be. A title is a teaser of the story.

You gave the teaser, but not the story.

You're probably one of those freaks who once a girl upzips your trousers, you say 'ok ok enough!' instead of letting her do her thing.

I think (and I speak for myself here) I'd rather have the tease and details. 🙂

Might be a blessing in disguise.

I don't wish any harm on Poppinga. He sounds like a great guy when he's on the air, on The Colledge Experience etc. But he's just such an average player all around.

I think that it might be better to go out and hope to just find that gem. Rotate our rookies and see what they can do. They might be worse than Brady's mediocre play in coverage, but at least we might get a pass rush going.

It's just more depth that has been sacrificed to the injury gods. At this point it almost seems like we're in a race to see how many players we can IR before the end of the year. Anyone know the record?
