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?

Zero2Cool (16h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy
