Might as well throw in the sponge

I have 2 kids that prove throwing in the sponge isn't always effective. Better off

...or even the towel

In Bakhtiari's post-game interview, he stated that his "chest injury" was in fact broken ribs. That's a pretty quick turnaround on broken bones to be back in three weeks. He said that once the risk of further injury was gone, it was just a matter of pain management. Tough guy earning his bucks and drinking his beer...

Maybe you should have told them to throw in a sponge AND a towel for extra measure.

Any news on the injury front?

They usually hurt?

Davante did not practice. Maybe his ankle is bothering him.

Actually Davante Adams was a limited participant in yesterday's practice. Montravius Adams, Tyler Ervin and Equanimeous St. Brown were the only ones not practicing at all.

Adams can afford not to practice.........So King and Alexander were full go?

No EQ? Maybe injury reports aren't all bad news after all.

I'm joking of course. I was pulling for EQ from the start, still am obviously. I was a big fan of his Dad back in his prime. I was expecting a bit more by now though.

 

[lambeaulambo]

the big comeback from injury is in the form of a Lazard even close to his previous self before injury

 

[longtimefan]

I believe when a packer player listed as dnp this season they dont play? I believe I heard that on wssp from Ryan wood

Both Alexander, who is in the last stages of concussion protocol, and King were full participants at yesterdays practice. It looks like we are getting closer to having Lazard back as well.

Saw Jones, Scantling, Barnes and Sullivan were injured/limping last night. Any details out yet? What about Jenkins for the Steeler game? What is the initial injury situation on the Steelers looking like?

I fear from when and how he looked MVS could have a strained calf or hamstring...guy with his burners this could be bad news for all season depending on how bad.

Jones to me looked like a stinger or very mild ankle roll on the play that it happened.

Sullivan came back in after his injury.

Barnes is the one I'm most intently looking for news on...well besides Jenkins, but I assume Jenkins will be back personally.

I doubt we find out much until tomorrow at the earliest. Unless of course one of them suffered a major injury. Barnes I am guessing is in concussion protocol.

Surprised Adams was able to come back and play, thought he would be joining Barnes. Can't wait to hear the NFL explain that blown no-call as they level a fine on the guy who speared Davante.

I don't see that hit as spearing or dirty...it one hundred percent fit the definition of a flag given the location of the hit, but not for one second did I think "that's a fine" or "*** dirty crap was that?"

Jones I think is leg or foot..he was limping

Yup as I said leg stinger or a mild ankle roll was my inclination from the play impact and then his hobbling after. He jogged off when Dillon came in to replace him albeit gingerly.

 

[tynimiller]

I also assume it was just mild or a stinger because he was in for the final drive AFTER it happened earlier.

Watch it again.....I guess the NFL will tell us just how flagrant it was or wasn't.....I see a guy launching himself headfirst into Davante's head and neck area.

They played it a lot last night and my buddy a (49er fan) texted me the footage slowed down and he even believes it too be a touch worse than I did (he was a college TE though so he may be bias to protect catchers LOL).

Push our love for Davante aside, there is no launch IMO - his feet are nearly still on the ground when he hit him. I also see his shoulder make first contact. Again I am not saying it wasn't a flag for targeting, even a clean hit that contacts a WR's head is one hundred percent deserving of the call as the rule is written.

The crazy thing is the shoulder which hits first actually pile drives into Adams' chest first - which explains why Adams and others said his issue was never his head but his breathing. He was struggling to breathe in the moment.

 

[gopkrs]

It was spearing. The guy led with his helmet and hit him right in the head.

Please explain how a guy leads with helmet yet shoulder hits first?

Man, you need to watch it again.
