Jaire becoming injury prone

[rodell330]

He literally played like 3 snaps and was done smh. This marks two years in a row where he’s gotten hurt during the season. If I’m not mistaken I heard the mention of a groin…we all know groin injuries in Green Bay mean 3-4 weeks MINIMUM smh. I hope this Nixon guy can play because Jaire won’t be back until late October I’m anticipating.

The offense is going to have to get it together and stop relying on the defense to bail them out because eventually they will have an off day as well.

A couple of seasons ago, Clark missed a month or more with a groin injury. It seems like those injuries take a long time to heal. Let's hope he only misses 2 to 3 games.

Typically speaking a groin injury depending on severity takes month to heal anywhere one is.

Repetitive soft tissue injuries can lead to injury prone...a shoulder issue costing a player most of the season is NOT something that leads one to "injury prone". So, I don't think that a single soft tissue issue means a guy is injury prone.

 

[JKramer64]

The next 4 QB's the Packers face will be Brian Hoyer, Danny Dimes, Zach Wilson and Carson Wentz. They should survive the loss of Alexander and hope he's back for Buffalo in week 8.

Some guys just don't have body's that are able to withstand constantly delivering punishment for years upon years, regardless of location.

I'm not saying he's injury prone. But I'm concerned.

According to some reports Alexander's groin injury isn't expected to be serious and won't result in him missing an extended period of time. We'll see how long it takes him to get back on the field.

I agree with @Sunshinepacker that Alexander missing most of last season with a shoulder injury doesn't make him injury prone. He missed a total of three games with a groin injury in his rookie season though.

I certainly hope so. He did play full seasons in 19 and 20.

I think the modern athlete , especially fast twitch guys are so muscled up, these types of muscle injuries are more common. Yes, some are more prone than others, but it's not just the Packers.

I read an article some years ago that athletes today are so fine-tuned that they're more prone to pulls and tears.

 

[OldSchool101]

It just seems like part of this missing time is the new league. The rules and protections set for players are ultra-sensitive compared to 30 years ago. You can have a stomach pain from the gas caused by drinking a soda and go on a non-football injury designation

In the case for JA, I'll buy that. There is a reason he is an elite cover corner so early in his career.

He plays fast and twitchy because he has nearly mastered the shadow technique.

He plays so close to matching the WR movements, that any quick cut by the WR will leave JA open to groin pulls and other soft tissue injuries.

The speed and quickness of his game is a gift and curse.

I don't think he's injury prone.

Not yet.

I agree. Really we’re talking about missing 1 contest or thereabouts so far this season. That’s pretty common throughout the league.

It seems that Alexander's groin injury isn't severe as he's listed questionable but hasn't been ruled out less than a week after suffering it.

Jaire Alexander, it turns out, tore is PCL in week 8, sat week 9 & the week 10 bye, then tried playing week 11. Sounds like he'll miss next 3-5 weeks to let it heal? If healthy would be great to get him back late season/playoffs.

And yet folks will sling crap his way. This sport is brutal, injuries happen and often it isn’t because of anything the player is failing to do.

Him trying to gut it out says a lot.

I am even more pissed now we didn’t try and really push in on a trade for a Greg Newsome type CB.

Xavien Howard (31 yrs old) or JC Jackson (29 yrs old) are still available as free agents. Bring them both in for workout, sign whichever shows better? I believe they both still have some gas in tank, just want too much $$ as of now.

 

[DoURant]

I would like to see Hadden or King get some snaps at CB, not just on ST's, even if it's just 10-15 in a game. We need to see what or if they can bring some value to this secondary with Jaire on the shelf.

Nice article on Carrington Valentine done up by APC and Justis Mosqueda.

Carrington Valentine should start the rest of the season

Looking at the Packers’ options, Valentine is the clear choice

True that. It’s very possible he would work with us on contract terms. He’s not cheap, but I’m not so sure it helps his value to sit out a season either.
Xavien Howard across the last 4 years
(60 games)
60 Passes Defensed
17 INT
191 Tackles
3 TFL
3 Probowls; 1-1st Team All Pro

Eric Stokes across that same 4yr span?
(38 games)
14 Passes Defensed
1 INT
114 Tackles
1 TFL
O accolades

I would think GB is at least the type of team that an older veteran would consider to help us make a push for the next 2-3 seasons.
