We may have had a bunch of injuries in 2010 also, but they were mostly isolated on defense, leaving the offense able to cover for them. Having both sides losing the number of players is much harder.

The good thing, is 2010, when we lost players, they were gone for the duration, this year we will get most of them back before season end.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Yo guys let's take it down a notch. The last time we had to battle through this many injuries we had a bunch of guys step up and we won the fucking superbowl. So far this year we've lost a bunch of guys and we've had a bunch of guys step up again...you know what's left.

2010 was something special but it is in the past. Don't look for it to happen again because what they did was very rare.

In an effort to see the positive in this, now the coaching staff will be able to evaluate our OLB depth and starter opposite CMIII nearly twice as often. 🤔

With all of the injuries, the team has done far better than I gave them credit for, but damn, how much more do we have to go through?! Get well soon, guys!

I'm not being a turd with this question, I'm really not sure how it works....so here goes...

As far as the "2nd opinion" deal. I'm guessing that the first opinion is the team physician? And when they don't like his diagnosis, they go to an outside source? Just wondering. And thank God Jennings did so...a hernia is a tad different than your garden variety "groin" injury I would think.

As Gump would say, "Coughs due to colds".

Nick Perry's 2nd Opinion is for his Wrist... wrist didn't show up on the injury report until last week.

~~Lifting Injury maybe?~~

Perry has sat out the last three games because of the knee, but he apparently has been progressing normally in his rehabilitation. No timeline has been given for his return from the knee injury, but McCarthy had said a week ago Perry felt he was getting close.

Perry wore a cast on his left wrist after injuring it against the Bears until he hurt his knee against Houston. He was able to function with the cast on his wrist because he still had use of his fingers.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Yes, we won the Superbowl shitting ourselves for the first half of the year. That doesn't mean we should go out and expect to shit ourselves.

dfosterf (3h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (3h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (4h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (5h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (6h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (8h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (8h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (8h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (8h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (9h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (9h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (9h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (10h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (12h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (13h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (13h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (13h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (19h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (19h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks
