Neal sprained his knee in practice today, running individual drills. No word on which ligament(s) or how serious. McCarthy said the way he fell scared them. He was down for a bit and then got up and walked off on his own power.

If you hear any updates, post here! I'm sure we won't hear more until tomorrow at the earliest.

Anyone know how long a knee sprain typically takes to recover from? We talking weeks, couple days?

Thanks to Pack93z for the sig!

Of course in the old days when Foster, VR, and Wade could still get carded - they'd just rub some dirt on it.

If it's really "just a knee sprain" then I'm not too concerned. I imagine an NFL player should be able to make it back fairly healthy in a month, no? Anyone remember how long others took to recover?

My only real worry if it is more than a knee sprain at this point.

but sounds like it wouldn't be that serious.
I doubt he plays this Friday- as a precaution. Mike tends to let guys sit during preseason games if there is the slightest injury.

I would not be surprised if they hold him out a couple of pre season games. You wouldn't want to risk reinjuring or injuring it worse during pre season. Sprains can be nagging injuries. Hopefully, it's very slight.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I was worried about our d-line depth already, but this makes it even worse. Hopefully we won't have to play Lang and Sitton on d-line again like last year.

wpr (10h) : The Eagles are signing former Packers running back AJ Dillon, a league source confirms.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Might be waiting for the right place, or right cash, or both

dhazer (10h) : I can't believe Chubb is still a free agent why wouldnt someone take a chance on him he is a stud with stuff to prove

Zero2Cool (12h) : I wanna find it too

Martha Careful (16h) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (18h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (18h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (18h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (18h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (18h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (18h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (19h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (20h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (20h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (20h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (20h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (20h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (20h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (20h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (11-Mar) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (11-Mar) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Er getting traded twice like that
