Packers guard Josh Sitton thinks left tackle Bryan Bulaga would be stupid to play on a torn ACL. Dr. James Andrews agrees, with presumably more tactful verbiage. Per a league source, Dr. Andrews has recommended surgery to repair the ACL tear suffered early in Saturday night's intra-squad scrimmage. The surgery will happen when the swelling...

Agreed. This sucks for the Packers this year, but it's a no-brainer move, and clearly what is best for him and the remainder of his career.

They said on ESPN that he has an outside chance of being available for the post-season. Question: if somebody is IRed, are they eligible for post-season?

Since this was apparently not quite as bad an ACL tear as some people get, it's a damn shame if it's true they need to do the full reconstruction thing automatically. The speculation about being available for the playoffs seems to indicate the year long recovery full reconstruction thing may NOT be automatic. Anybody know?

Plus, if a team made it to the NFC Championship game or the Super Bowl, would they really want someone to play that hasn't played all season? I mean, something must have been going right if they made it that far. The only thing that could force the issue I suppose is recent injuries.

They found out the problem with Bulaga's knee.

Zero2Cool (5h) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (9h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (11h) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (14h) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (15h) : 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

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
