Packers-Vikings Friday Injury Report: Turner Doubtful
Bill Huber

25 minutes ago


GREEN BAY, Wis. – Billy Turner, who is listed as the starting right tackle for the Green Bay Packers, is doubtful for Sunday’s season-opening game at the Minnesota Vikings, coach Matt LaFleur said after Friday’s practice.

Turner practiced a bit on Thursday but did not work on Friday due to a knee injury.

LaFleur’s primary options to start would be veteran right tackle Rick Wagner or either of his starting guards, Elgton Jenkins or Lane Taylor.

Wagner, with 87 starts under his belt, was signed one day before the Packers lost standout starter Bryan Bulaga to the Chargers in free agency. An injury early in camp seemingly knocked him out of the starting conversation. However, Wagner is off the injury report.

“There were certainly some challenges there,” LaFleur said on Friday of Wagner’s injury, which kept him off the field for a week. “Anytime you’re not out on the grass and not getting those meaningful reps, it does set you back. But Rick’s a pro. We’ve got a lot of confidence in him. He’s started a lot of games in this league and he’s done it at a high level. So, it’s more or less one of those things that we’re again trying to find the best five to go out there and compete against a very good Minnesota Vikings defense.”

Turner started all 16 games last season and played 98.1 percent of the snaps, the highest rate for any player on offense or defense.

Also doubtful is defensive tackle Montravius Adams. Safety Raven Greene was limited participation all week and is questionable.

Friday's Injury Report
PACKERS

It is really hard for me to imagine that Turner is a better player than Wagner. If he is the RT position is going to be a problem all year long.
Ramsey being out is no big deal. Same for M Adams if he misses the game.
It will be a problem if Greene can't play. They are already weak at MLB.

There is talk about moving Jenkins over to play RT, but if Wagner can't go would they consider Nijman? I am getting really excited about the reports on this kid. I know that they have been having him be the LT back-up, but if we can get him in at RT and hopefully let Wagner heal wouldn't that be the better option?

Alex Light has been the backup LT in most of camp. Until two weeks ago, Nijman has been injured since last season... and while he has unlimited potential, he was so freaking bad in his technic that he went undrafted when teams need OTs and usually take risk on OTs. I don't think LaFleur would of publicly suggest Jenkins if Nijman was clearly the best option.

Nijman might actually be able to develop, but to do it this quickly while injured for the entire off-season would be shocking... not impossible, but I'm thinking Jenkins would be a better option.

It appears that the starting 5 is Bak, Jenkins, Linsley, Taylor and Turner.
If Turner can't go then it will be Wagner. Under normal circumstances I would assume Nijman and Runyan are inactive. Wagner and Patrick are active. Without Turner they will probably have Nijman active. If Wagner goes down during the game my guess is Jenkins might slide over to OT and put Patrick in as LR. It's just a guess.

And I hope we never find out.

Where in game injury, might be more likely to keep the parts where they are, and just add one new RT Nijman. Changing one part instead of muliple parts.

Also, new rules allow for a 48th gameday active if you have a 8th OL active, or only 47 if you don't have 8 OL (so I'm so waiting for some team to have a TE or FB labeled as an OL and then mainly use him as the 6th OL or TE spot, like we are planning to use Lewis). Also waiting for the day they just say screw it and all 53 are active.

But anyways, we got 9 OL on the 53, so if 8 are active that probably means Runyan is inactive one while everyone is healthy.

I don't know why they don't just move Jenkins over there. He could start there for 10 years. Meanwhile we have a ton of Gs.
