Packers Getting Healthy
Oct 22nd
This is not a misnomer. It is not misdirection. It’s not the old switcheroo. The Green Bay Packers are actually getting healthy, and just in time for the Minnesota Vikings, who come to town with their old, washed-up, dick-texting quarterback this weekend. Linebackers Clay Matthews and Brandon Chillar are expected to return to the lineup, [...]

Oct 18th
The Green Bay Packers almost made it through their loss to the Miami Dolphins unscathed. Almost. Linebacker Brady Poppinga tore his meniscus, Sunday.

After surgery, a timetable will be set for [...]

Oct 13th
As expected, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (concussion), linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring) and defensive end Ryan Pickett (ankle) didn’t practice on Wednesday.

Barnett Could Be Out For The Season
Oct 6th
When Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said linebacker Nick Barnett could miss an extended period with a wrist injury, we didn’t anticipate “extended period” meant “the rest of the year.” However, that appears to be a real possibility.
