GREEN BAY — The only bad news — other than the final score, of course — to come out of the Green Bay Packers' 17-0 shutout loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Friday night's preseason opener at Lambeau Field was that first-round draft pick Datone Jones left the game after one play with a sprained left ankle.

"Datone Jones has an ankle sprain. Like a lot of those injuries, I think tomorrow will be a better indicator," coach Mike McCarthy said after the game.

The Packers had 17 players not dress for the game: Wide receivers Kevin Dorsey (hamstring), Charles Johnson (knee) and Randall Cobb (biceps); running backs DuJuan Harris (knee) and Eddie Lacy (hamstring); safety Sean Richardson (neck); cornerback Casey Hayward (hamstring); cornerback Tramon Williams (knee); offensive lineman JC Tretter (ankle); left tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee); offensive lineman Andrew Datko (concussion); tackle Derek Sherrod (leg); tight end Andrew Quarless (quadriceps); tight end Ryan Taylor (knee); wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee); and defensive end Jerel Worthy (knee).

Jones, a rookie out of UCLA, lined up next to B.J. Raji in the Packers' sub package as an inside rusher when he was in the game.

Mark Lovat and his staff should be fired - actually, this should have happened last year after the season. We ARE SOFT. Sickening.

I hope Datone's sprain is minor, and that he returns soon.

I sure hope an ankle sprain which might take a week to recover from isn't the tipping point for people calling for heads.

I wonder if because these are bigger guys and there is more weight to carry, that it takes longer to heal. When I first heard it though I assumed it would only be a week. Hope we're right.

Or, maybe an idiotic drill that breaks another OL's leg, then another top pick going down for the season, and what, 14 players unable to practice last Wednesday? 7 players on the PUP, all before our first preseason game, in a year when strength & conditioning, and the overall health of their players were to be a major point of emphasis? Because it has been an ongoing problem for the last 3 seasons or more?

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
