I hope taking the season off will mean that Collins’ career is as long and dominate as it would have been without the injury, whether he’s with the Packers or not.

I don’t think we’ll see Thompson make any major moves or acquisitions unless one of the guys filling in for Collins gets hurt.

According to this, he does NOT have stenosis. So that's good. VERY good. Still, I don't like how this is playing out. Hope he can play again.

and as far as stenosis goes - errr whatever ... read below

All of these diagnosis are based on an orthopedist's point of view which is - problem = fix with something that is outside the body (like a knife etc) ...

how about they get some peep in there that will treat the body as sacred and heal naturally.

Going to miss collins - damn his SB int was a game clencher.

I get what you're saying, but... has there been any indication that they're going to do surgery?

Is a disc problem even something that will heal naturally?

The thing that scares me the most is "it is to early to tell" that is a huge red flag statement.

Not necessarily. It always takes days to weeks for the inflammation in a central nervous system injury to subside to the point that they can make an accurate assessment of the injury and determine a long-term prognosis.

Again, he's not on IR, therefore he's coming back. That's my denial story and I'm flippin stickin to it!

Edit,

I can tell you what it isn’t: He did not break his neck, he didn’t break his back, he didn’t injure his spinal cord. He was 100 percent OK (Sunday) night, with no numbness. We understand there was some disc involvement, but we don’t know what extent. The team took the step of putting him on injured reserve today, and their recommendation was they didn’t think they wanted to put him at risk for any future injury this year. What that means at this point, I can’t tell you. We don’t have a problem with it.

Right now, we don’t know anything more at this point. Nick has told us he feels fine. We’ll see what kind of damage he’s done to himself with this fluke injury. What is absolutely wonderful is he has absolutely no lingering effects. He has full mobility, no numbness, and that’s what we’re thankful for.

Well that's mighty encouraging at least. Good for him.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I'd rather the guy had a life beyond football. Sterling never played again and we lived.

Man, I'm going to miss the guy. He's truly a beast. Huge opportunity for Burnett to break out though.

beast (20h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (20h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I have some doubt about all that

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I read De'Vondre Campbell's tweet this morning (via the New York Post) Florio says that if he invested his earnings wisely, he will be good

beast (20-Feb) : I haven't followed, but I believe he's good when healthy, just hasn't been able to stay healthy.

dfosterf (20-Feb) : Hasn"t Bosa missed more games than he has played in the last 3 years?

Mucky Tundra (19-Feb) : He hasn't been too bad when healthy but I don't feel like I ever heard much about when he is

Zero2Cool (19-Feb) : Felt like he was more interested in his body, than football. He flashed more than I expected

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Issue should be solved, database cleaned and held strong working / meeting. Boom!

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : It should be halted now.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : usually spambots are trying to get traffic to shady websites filled with spyware; the two links being spammed were to the Packers website

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : you know when you put it that way combined with the links it was spamming (to the official Packers website)

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yep. You can do that with holding down ENTER on a command in Console of browser

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : even with the rapid fire posts?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : I'm not certain it's a bot.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I've got to go to work soon which is a pity because I'm enthralled by this battle between the bot and Zero

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, I see what that did. Kind of funny.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : now it's a link to Wes Hodkiezwicz mailbag

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I thought Guests couldnt post?
